Anyone with children has probably wondered at least once whether their little ones might be gifted.
That is certainly the case in Auckland anyway, where a unique programme for gifted pre-schoolers has attracted such demand, it is now gearing up to go nationwide.
'Small Poppies' was set up more than a year ago off the back of inquiries from parents who wanted extra help.
Today, three-to-six-year-olds head along for a morning a week.
Caleb is a four-year-old Kiwi kid who loves to play, and one of a handful of pre-schoolers that comes to Small Poppies, a learning centre for gifted children and their parents.
Once a week, these bright sparks come together for a bit of brain stimulation.
Internationally, to be gifted is to be in the top five percent. Genetics plays a big part.
At Small Poppies, they take the top 10 percent, as assessed by Sue Breen.
Parents pay $250 for each eight-week block, and say it is money well spent.
Ms Breen says identifying and providing for gifted kids at an early age is important, but in small doses.
And for the record, there is plenty of time here for kids to be kids.
