I clicked a link for MontessoriMom.com on a message board I frequent. The link was for a "quiz" for mothers of young children, to help determine your child's talents.

I almost giggled as I answered a few questions, as I couldn't believe how much some of the answers described my DD (who just turned 3 yesterday).

Anyway, I was not surprised when I received this response after submitting the questionnaire:

My Child's Talent is Language

Your child has exceptional linguistic ability. Your child could be the next president. Also, your child may be the next Dale Carnegie, Dr. Suess, or JK Rowland.

Your child can hear things and remember them easily. They are often advanced readers and learn to talk quickly. They enjoy telling stories. They learn other languages easily. They can generalize how their language is put together in written and spoken form readily.

Some good activities for your child are as follows:
Word games such as scrabble, crossword puzzles, anagrams, spelling games and most of all, reading.

Your child will probably start writing at a young age, so have plenty of pencils, crayons, and paper handy.

My little darling sure is a verbal little thing - very articulate and well-spoken, and loves to talk and sing and interact (just like her mama). So these results were not at all surprising to me, and describe her very accurately. :-)

She really is a smart little booger. And very impressive in her verbal skills, and her vocabulary. :-)
