“She’s so switched on!” exclaimed the nurse. C. must have been all of 4 months old at that point, in for a check-up, and already it was there.
“Switched On.” Such a fitting description and just the first of many: Miss Independent, High Maintenance Woman, Drama Queen. A very smart, highly verbal, very active kid. A “more” child. If you have one, you know exactly what I’m talking about. For better or for worse more perceptive, more intense, more creative, more persistent, more sensitive. Just “more.”
I’m the mom of two girls–one profoundly gifted (C., early teen), one highly gifted (M., age tween)–living in Montgomery County, Maryland.
