Our youngest Grandson has been in the gifted program for several years. When he was in the 4th grade he was reading at a high school level. He plays video games, watches TV and loves to read. He can read any book out there. Parents keep it at age appropriate. He would be considered a ' nerd' if that term was still used. We think he is wonderful. He was raised around adults and we think that helped him. He gets alot of attention because he is able to hold an intelligent conversation with adults. We are very proud of him.
