Children these days can really wow you and put you off guard if you're not careful. They showcase a high level of intelligence and inquisitiveness. I still don't understand the cause of this but it's very very obvious that the children born in this generation are far more intelligent than us while growing up.
As a teacher and a mother, I've come across a lot of children both in school, church, my environment and at home. I can tell you that for a fact, these children are really intelligent especially those whose parents are more exposed, who mix with children of like minds.
I was employed by a woman some years ago, to help tutor her kids after school. My job was to help them with their assignment and review their school work with them. They were really lovely kids and one of the reasons I love them so much was based on their intelligence. Gosh! These kids are super intelligent and fun to be with.
Janessa was about six years old and the manner of questions she asks will make you wonder if she was six or fifteen years old. She would engage me in conversations, asking questions, and giving her own opinion about the particular topic. She was a really lovely young girl and I really admire her.
Another child that usually gives me goosebumps whenever I watch her do things is my niece. Her name is Tiwa. She has always shown exceptional traits as early as when she was crawling. At the age of five she could read fluently. Spell words, write composition and a whole lot. She asks questions about things that are far above her level.
What amaze me most about this babe is her love for politics. She is going to be eight years old soon and she could engage you in topics of politics. Maybe that's as a result of the fact that her parents her active in politics. She would give you the latest updates on political parties and issues. The funny thing is that she would not just talk about her state, she is always informed about other states and the country at large.
I use to call her the genius of the family. When she asks questions, sometimes, I run to google just to be careful of what to say. Her brother is three years older than her and also very intelligent at his age because he leads his class. Still my babe compete with him and win him in debate at home. She would give answers to her brothers examination questions without missing any question. She is such a great child and very eloquent. She finds new vocabulary daily and she could speak a little french.
This experience with my niece made me realize that some are more gifted than others and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
