There's a moment when you realize that being different isn't a curse but a gift. A moment when you feel: this is who I am, and that's okay. It's like a Ferrari finally getting the right fuel - your strength only truly comes into its own when you accept yourself as you are.

The antique cabinet: understanding the gifted mind

Do you recognize that feeling? Your four-year-old who suddenly asks where time goes when it passes. Or your toddler who can already hold entire conversations about the origin of the universe. As a parent, you sometimes stand amazed at the questions and observations that come from that little mouth. And your child? They often stand amazed too - not at the questions they ask, but at the reactions they receive.

Your four-year-old toddler stands in the playground. While other children run around happily together, she stands on the sidelines. Not because she doesn't want to play, but because she first wants to analyze all possible routes. She observes, thinks, plans. Her brain is working at full speed, like a Ferrari reving at the traffic light.
