"Gifted children have an internal drive to KNOW things. Unfortunately, their interests don’t always coincide with what their teachers are teaching.

Many experts in Gifted Education call this the “hallmark of giftedness.”The students identified as GT in schools are usually cognitively gifted, so that is the area with the fastest rate of development. In addition, most gifted children’s emotional development is more rapid than their physical or social development
The out-of-sync (or asynchronous) development of gifted kids is an integral part of who they are and how they interact with the world. This is why they act like an adult at one moment and throw a temper tantrum the next. Different parts of them are different ages all at the same time"
