So your child is that smart, a high-riding, high IQ, straight A’s academic cowboy!
Cool that, but how’s that maturity thing going?
The peak age for absorbing new information is age 18. The peak age for assessing the emotional state of others is 40.
It makes sense, as our developmental years are for learning, testing, and expanding our bodies and mind and testing how they interact with the outer world. Our adult years are for organizing and evaluating ourselves within the larger world. (Here for How Intelligence Shifts With Age)
So perhaps we can measure our children a bit differently from ourselves?
