This manual is about pre-school age children with most or all of the following characteristics and abilities
developed far above average:
- experiencing great pleasure in mental activities and identifying interrelations
- intellectual curiosity and a fancy for exploration
- good observation
- high capacity to assimilate and process data in fields of interest
- logic, complex, original and abstract thinking
- inner urge to solve problems creatively and independently
- interest for topics which go far beyond the interests of peers in age
- great perseverance when dealing with topics of interest
- inquisitiveness
- early developed ability to think critically
The question whether bright or gifted (IQ-rating ≥ 130 or test-score ≥ 98 percent) is not essential here. The target group of this manual is focussed on gifted children (their need for advancement and their possible problems) yet also encompasses the bright (IQ-rating ≥ 115 or test-score ≥ 84 percent).
