Do you know that he was a very late talker? He didn’t speak a word until he was three. But from a young age, it was clear that he was extremely observant and intelligent.

Albert Einstein, a genius that everyone knows, was also a late talker. He didn’t speak full sentences until he was five years old. It was so famous that people named the term: The Einstein Syndrome.

According to Sowell in his 1997 book "Late-talking children", these are some characteristics of a child with Einstein Syndrome:

• Outstanding analytical or musical abilities
• Outstanding memories
• Very selective interests
• Delayed potty training
• Extreme concentration on whatever task is occupying their time

So if your little one is a late talker, it may be a rare gift.
