My Son, The Patriot
A few items on this list show writings of intuitive children, which, according to entrepreneur and speaker Dr. Kuhmar Mehta, is a promising sign. It’s one of the indicators of a gifted child, which also includes keen observation and the tendency to ask questions.
In his article for CNBC, Dr. Mehta also mentioned the early use of advanced vocabulary, which you’ll likely also see in some of these photos.

Parents can take action to nurture their children’s natural talents. Dr. Mehta suggests firsthand curiosity-inducing activities like visiting museums, for one. Providing them with materials to play with, such as cardboard boxes and Play-Doh, can also help spark creativity.

I've Never Been More Proud Of My 10-Year-Old Daughter
Many parents are alarmed by their child’s underachievement in school. However, it could also be due to a lack of motivation. As educator Megan Canella pointed out in her CNBC article, kids could lose interest if schoolwork isn’t challenging or interesting enough.
“In school, they can be easily bored because they learn things faster than their peers,” Canella wrote, comparing it to an employee going through an eight-hour shift.

Parents, however, can help make their children more engaged by surrounding them with like-minded and talented people. If your kid is into art, enroll them in a class where they can make friends and see others do their best.
“When kids see people around them shine in an activity, they are motivated to raise the bar and be even better,” Dr. Mehta wrote.

This reminds me of once when I was grading kids' papers (2nd grade math) and one kid very confidently had written 7-6=20. Someone else put that a dollar equal was 2 cents.

As a teacher, the majority of these are pretty spot on. I’m an ESL teacher and the kiddos can come up with some intentionally and unintentionally hilarious stuff.
