If you're looking for that flash of brilliance in your child that may signal that he's smarter than other kids, then you may be ready to slap on that "gifted" label. Whether your child walked, talked, read or reached some other developmental milestone earlier than his peers, it's tempting to think he's going to be another Doogie Howser. But gifted kids are few and far between. In fact, only one or two in a million will be a prodigy - meaning they read at 2, take college courses at 10 and so on. Just 2 to 5 percent of kids test gifted when they reach elementary school. There is a lot of pressure on parents to bring out their kids' strengths and play upon them incessantly. "Good" isn't good enough, it seems, when it comes to competitive school admissions and just plain old bragging rights. But what's important is to have a happy, physically and emotionally healthy kid. To raise a happy - and, yes, capable or even gifted child - is to start early.
