Giftedness is an immutable, inherited characteristic. The inherent traits of giftedness are especially undeniable in the profoundly gifted who have extraordinary cognitive capacity manifesting across intellectual, emotional, moral, talent-based, and social spheres.

The great equalizer in life is uncertainty
Everyone has the same amount - no one can tell the future
Much of success boils down to how you face that uncertainty, day in, day out
I think this is why bravery and courage are the virtues most celebrated in fairy tales
It's interesting to me these aren't virtues we talk about as we age
Meet Harry: a profoundly gifted delight of a child
His chronological age peers are unquestionably not his true peers; an indisputable 10-year gap in conceptualization & perceptions is evident in mismatched communication & adverse intellectual, social & emotional miscuing 1(8) – at Surrey, British Columbia
he is generally met with confusion or palatable uneasiness.
He is lonely & feels socially incompetent, desperate to learn and to make a friend: the most common needs of any child.
You would quickly pick him out as an exceptionally gifted child in the clinic's waiting room. – at Surrey, British Columbia
& he shows genuine interest in others.
Context matters here.
The others in the waiting room share similar powerful intellectual capacities with parallel (extraordinary) emotional & moral sensitivities.
They sometimes communicate telegraphically, using truncated messaging, – at Surrey, British Columbia
Inevitably, ostracization occurs. This is heartbreaking for Harry.
School days are long for him; fraught with emotional outbursts & inattention. attempts to connect with his age peer. sharing his many interests/understanding of classroom materials, a wicked sense of humour 2(9
His language abilities and accessible grasp of any issue at hand are extraordinary.
He demonstrates uncommon insight & an ability to fully connect with his conversational partner when conversing.
His eye contact and nonverbal behaviours are congruent with his verbal messaging – at Surrey, British Columbia
Consciousness and exceptional Intelligence: neuroscience and phenomenology weigh in.
In “The Four Realms of Existence” LeDoux, a neuroscientist at New York University, describes four basic varieties of life on Earth: biological, neurobiological, cognitive and conscious. 1(4) – at Vancouver, British Columbia
While verbal reports provide a clear indicator for measurement, it is not the only measure, using Ledoux’s theory to PG consciousness. Some PG babies who demonstrate clear nonverbal indicators of awareness but are slower to utilize their verbal channel of communication. – at Vancouver, British Columbia
These more “hands on” learners demonstrate extraordinary awareness of cause & effect or precocious awareness of social communication but they do so through their actions, not through speaking necessarily.
So much more on this later in the book. June 1, 2024 release. 💫📕 – at Vancouver, British Columbia
This is our Christmas plan. Whistler. The Fairmont. Such a beautiful place. – at Surrey, British Columbia

“Since we were children, so many of us have told ourselves that we would not stand by if we were ever witnesses to genocidal violence,” Naomi Klein said. “We told ourselves that we would raise our voices. We told ourselves we would put our bodies on the line. We pledged that such horrors would never again happen on our watch.”

Exceptionally children & adults are significantly different from their age-peers of average ability which is observable in their developmental patterns.
This exists across-the-board & is not limited to language acquisition, memory, or reasoning. (1) of 3
