Question

My six year old is very intelligent and gifted. I don't understand why he is so nosy though. Is this normal?

Answer 1

Being nosy has nothing to do with being exceptionally gifted...  Children are ALL nosy!

Answer 2

Gifted kids are naturally curious so this sometimes shows itself in nosiness.  All they want is to acquire more knowledge about the world around them.

Answer 3

It's human nature to be nosey.  Thats how we learn and it is our instinct to be curious about things even if sometimes it is none of our business.

Answer 4

yes.. its curiosity and thats how he learns!

Mine are intelligent too. My 5th grader is in mostly 8tha nd 9th grade classes and my 3rd grader is in ALL 5th and 6th level classes.  He is so bored and hates school, but the 5th grader LOVES school. crazy, huh?

Answer 5

Nosy would be due to his natural curiously which would lead to him needing to seek answers.  Noisy would be because he is six.

Answer 6

Yeah, at that age they don't wanna miss out on anything.

Answer 7

Of course! Thats just the way he learns stuff- take him on fake "Expeditions" through your backyard and explore with him. It's totally normal- you want to encourage it. And if it's nosy like getting into everyone's business, it's ok, but watch it to make sure that it doesn't get out of hand. :)
