Parenting Tip:   Some gifted kids love puzzles and are quite good at them -- starting very young.  Don't be surprised if your gifted child works through the first level puzzles earlier than 12 months!  They do enjoy those first level puzzles, such as the peg puzzle shown at the left; they just tend to start at younger age and move through the levels more quickly than non-gifted children. This means you should buy puzzles sooner than you think and keep them handy.
