经常看到这里有人问自己2，3岁的小孩是不是有天分。转一篇文章吧。

Preschoolers seem to learn so much, so fast. Can you know at this age if
your child is gifted? Learning specialists say that sometimes it's clear
from infancy that a child learns more quickly than others his age. But for
many children, signs of giftedness — usually defined as achievement in one
area that's much deeper and faster than that of a child's peers — aren't
evident until the elementary school years.
There are many different kinds of giftedness. More common than being
brilliant at everything is a child whose talents lie in certain areas. Some
kids may have extra-strong spatial or musical aptitudes, for example, while
others excel in physical activities or are further along verbally than other
kids their age.
Try not to get hung up on the "gifted" label. What an advanced preschooler
needs is exactly the same as her peers: lots of stimulation in the form of
conversation, books, fresh air, diverse and challenging play experiences,
and exposure to new people and places — along with plenty of free play and
downtime.
At this age, a gifted child can thrive at home or in a daycare that meets
those needs, but an environment with an academic, learn-and-drill emphasis,
even for the brightest preschooler, is universally frowned on by child
development specialists because it emphasizes skills that will be easily
learned later at the expense of the creativity, repetitive play, and
security that studies show the brain needs most during the preschool years
in order to function optimally later.
