37. She Needs Less Sleep
There is no question that kids need tons of sleep, and far too many children are chronically sleep-deprived. Their parents may not put them to bed early enough, and they may be so overscheduled that their bodies cannot calm down. But one of the early signs of how gifted a child is could be that they sleep less than their peers. They may even struggle with insomnia at an early age because they cannot turn their brains off. If your child has trouble sleeping, you need to talk with your pediatrician about what could be the cause. Be sure to bring up signs of giftedness and ask if your child may be sleeping less because she is exceptionally bright.
