Each child is different in their abilities, interests and development. But there is a small group of children who have amazing intelligence. How do you know if your baby is a little genius?

Such children often have:

• Unusual creativity: They see the world in their own way and find unconventional solutions.
• Curiosity: They are interested in everything around them and strive to learn as much as possible.
• Ability to learn quickly: They absorb new information instantly.
• Desire to delve into details: They are not limited to superficial knowledge, they want to understand deeper.
