Andrew Garfield on the Time He and Emma Stone Got High and Went to Disneyland: "It Was Heaven"
Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone once went on a magical trip to Disneyland back in August 2012. The then-couple enjoyed some rides, including Splash Mountain and It's a Small World, with a group of Andrew's best friends to celebrate his 29th birthday. While the pictures from their trip looked innocent enough at the time, the actor recently opened up about what really went down that day. In a video for W magazine, Andrew admits that the group ate pot brownies before going to the park. "It was literally heaven," he said. "How about Space Mountain three times in a row? And I freaked out on It's a Small World. I was like, 'It is a f*cking small world.'" He also revealed that their group's tour guide was probably too innocent to realize they were all on drugs. Watch his whole rundown in the video above, and be prepared to laugh out loud.
16 Must-Follow Meal-Prep Tips For Weight Loss
Since losing weight is so much about what you eat, not how much you exercise, planning out your week's meals and snacks is absolutely essential to your success. Unfortunately, we're not talking about making an enormous batch of mac and cheese. If you're looking to slim down and eat healthier, certified dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, RD, CD, of Whole Health Nutrition shares these tips for Sunday meal planning.
- Plan out every meal and snack so there's no wiggle room: Make sure each meal includes protein, carbs, fiber, and healthy fats, and all snacks should have at least two of these: protein, fiber, and healthy fats. When you're first starting out, doing the exact same food for each meal and snack might be the easiest.
- Eat veggies for at least two meals and one snack per day: Snack on ants on a log or red pepper strips with hummus using this hack. And don't limit your veggie intake to just lunch and dinner. Add spinach and broccoli to your breakfast smoothie freezer packs or mash beans in your mason jars of overnight oats.
- Plan for times you know are difficult for you: If you know you're famished right before making dinner, wash five apples so you can bring one each day to nosh on around 4 p.m.
- Plan for cravings: Don't ignore cravings for sweet, salty, or crunchy foods. Plan out healthy, low-cal ways to satisfy them such as making a batch of chocolate peanut butter protein balls to keep in the freezer for after dinner.
- Have one large salad per day: Mason jar salads for lunch make this easy since they keep well for five days in the fridge. Or if you prefer eating your salad for dinner, Leslie recommends washing twice the amount of lettuce or kale so you get two nights' worth, and "wrap it in paper towels to keep it fresh."
- Have cut-up veggies on hand: Use them for roasting, steaming, or sauteing, for soups, or for snacking. I usually prep five different varieties to use for my dinner, including cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potatoes, squash, and green beans.
- Roast a pan of mixed veggies: Leslie says this is great to have on hand throughout the week to "add to salads, quinoa, eggs, or have as sides for meals."
- Freeze things in muffin tins: Options like mini turkey meatloaves, sausage egg muffins, or steel-cut oatmeal that only need a quick warming are great to have when you're short on time.
- Overnight oats: Make all five of your overnight oats at once. Then, before you go to bed, grab a jar and add a little maple syrup and milk.
- Beans and whole grains: Make a big batch of beans in the crockpot and cook up one or two cups of dry brown rice, quinoa, millet, or barley. Freeze in one-cup servings to grab for meals later.
- Crockpot love: For colder days, cook up a big batch of crockpot oatmeal or slow-cooker chickpea curry. Store in one- or two-cup glass containers to use for a week's worth of breakfast or lunch.
- Chop once: If you're making dinner Sunday night using ingredients you use for a few of your typical dinners, cut up a bunch at once to store in the fridge. Cut-up onions, red peppers, celery, and carrots will stay fresh all week.
- Extra chicken: Make twice as much so you can use it for your Sunday meal, and "make tacos, soups, or add to salad the next day for a quick dinner."
- Hard-boiled eggs: Leslie tells clients to "cook up one dozen hard-boiled eggs for snacks, salads, or breakfast on the go." They'll keep for up to five days.
- Plan one meal to indulge: This will prevent you from feeling deprived and can be just the thing you need to feel good about eating healthy the rest of the week.
- Take your time: Planning, shopping, and prepping can take three hours or more, so don't rush! Carve out a few hours on Sunday to peruse Pinterest for new recipe ideas, hit the store, and be home to chop and cook. It may seem like a ton of time to devote all at once, but it'll make a huge difference in not feeling stressed all week long. Most importantly, you're more likely to stay on the healthy path once you have that intention set on Sunday night.

Bryce Dallas Howard Has a Cute Red Carpet Date With Her Dad, Ron
Bryce Dallas Howard and her dad, actor and director Ron Howard, made a supercute pair when they attended the star-studded BAFTA Tea Party on Saturday. The father-daughter duo stayed close and flashed sweet smiles while posing for pictures on the red carpet. Also in attendance were Justin Timberlake and Sterling K.

Forget the 80/20 Rule! This Trainer Says to Follow the 90/10 Rule to Lose Weight
If this is the year you've committed to finally losing weight and getting in shape, we asked trainer Autumn Calabrese, creator of the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme fitness and nutrition programs, to share what she thinks is the number one way to finally reach your weight-loss goals.
"The number one thing people need to do to lose weight in 2017 is be consistent. You need to be consistent with your workouts, getting at least 30 minutes of exercise four to five days a week," she said. An easy way to get in the habit is to choose four or five specific days of the week, as well as one specific time, such as Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 6 a.m. Think of these as important appointments you've made with yourself that you cannot skip out on. The first two to three weeks will be the hardest, but once you're used to working out on the same days and times each week, it'll feel weird not to.

Autumn also said, "You also need to be consistent with your healthy eating. That doesn't mean you have to be perfect all the time but you do have to be on top of it. I like the 90/10 rule. I know a lot of people say 80/20, but if you're really trying to lose weight then 90 percent of the time you need to be eating healthy, clean food in the proper portions." Autumn says it's OK to splurge on one cheat meal once a week, but make sure it's a cheat meal, not an entire cheat day. "If you do these two things, work out and eat right consistently, you will lose weight and keep it off." Autumn reminds us that "being healthy is a journey, not a destination."
Why Leslie Jones Is the Person You Want to Be Sitting Next to at Sporting Events
Just a couple weeks after her cute courtside date with SNL costars Colin Jost and Michael Che, Leslie Jones was back at Madison Square Garden to watch the New York Knicks take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. While her castmates weren't in attendance that time, Leslie didn't hold back while cheering, screaming, and supporting her team as she sat front row with friends.
We've really taken a shine to Leslie's game-night attitude: she's clearly that one friend who's louder than everyone else, gets way too fired up during every play, and probably embarrasses you a little when all is said and done, but you invite her every time because you can't imagine sitting courtside without her. Here's a roundup of reactions that have us hoping Leslie will invite us out for the next big game.
Girl Scouts Give Us 2 S'more Reasons to Get Excited For 2017's Cookie Season
Girl Scouts announced two new cookie flavors, and the best part is both flavors are riffs on one of the most popular desserts: s'mores. According to the official press release, one is "a crispy graham cookie double dipped in a crème icing and enrobed in a chocolatey coating," and the other is "a crunchy graham sandwich cookie with a chocolate and marshmallow-y filling."
This exciting news comes in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts selling cookies, and it's no surprise that the organization has strong ties to this flavor because Girl Scouts invented s'mores back in 1927. According to a spokesperson, the new cookies are available nationwide as soon as cookie season starts in early 2017, so be on the lookout for Girl Scouts in your area soon. You can use the cookie locator to find Girl Scout cookies near you - cookie prices and availability vary by location. Which version of the s'mores Girl Scout cookie are you more excited to try?

5 Foods I Only Eat Because I Have Kids
If it's true that kids let you rediscover your own childhood, the weirdest part of the return trip is finding out that macaroni and cheese tastes exactly the same. I used to make it for myself before basketball games in high school, and after my last season, I don't think I touched it again throughout college and my 20s.
Until I had kids. I had forgotten about kid food. I hadn't had things like american cheese in years, maybe decades. Same for hot dogs, popsicles, chicken strips, popcorn, and animal cookies. There are a lot of things I'd never put in my own grocery cart before. Not that I'm really healthy, but the yogurt tubes didn't catch my eye. I didn't know they made chocolate yogurt or yogurt covered in pieces of candy. I'd never had Pirate's Booty. I don't remember when or how cheese sticks entered the house, but they did. Probably when my daughter turned 2 and she forgot how to sit down for more than a few seconds. The toddler, so lusty in every way for fun, giggles, and trouble, displays a remarkable inability to eat. I think it's the bother of eating - the flat, immobile plate, a parent telling you over and over what to do with the food - when the sensory world is much more fun. Somehow, you resign yourself to chasing them, hoping to stuff a bite or two in their mouth when they pause to catch their breath. Cheese sticks are handy for that.
Here's my list of foods I only eat because of kids, and alas, I've grown to like a few of them.
Pirate's Booty
Let's just admit that Pirate's Booty is a Cheeto for the millennial set. I refuse to buy Cheetos for my kids, and yet, we do buy Pirate's Booty. My daughter asks for it if she sees it at the store. (She loves Cheetos too.) The main problem with Pirate's Booty is I find myself eating the rest of the bag after I've served the kids. It disappears in like, seconds. When they go looking for the bag the next afternoon, I have to make up some ridiculous story.
Applesauce
This is one of the first baby foods I made, and for some reason, if you have kids, it is mandatory every Fall that you take them apple picking. My kids love apples. But my toddler spits about half of every bite out, leaving a trail of dried apple wherever she goes. So we make sauce, and we make sauce. It's really good. The pouches are very handy for lunches, and of all the kid foods, applesauce is undeniably healthy.
Cheese Sticks
I think I'll keep these around after my kids grow out of them. I prefer them to the waxy rounds that you have to unwrap and then unwax. I hate the part-skim ones and the cheddar ones, but I love their salty mozzarella taste and their portability. I often find them hiding in my various handbags, diaper bags, and backpacks, and I have no qualms about eating them warm.
Hot Dogs
Adults can be pretty snobby about hot dogs. We eat brats, sausage, or wurst. But really, what's a hot dog but a style of wurst? In Germany, every link has its origin name, and the Frankfurter is a smoked pork sausage. Wiener is simply the name for a Viennese sausage. What I didn't realize, until I started buying hot dogs, was the amazing variety New York produces. I've basically tried them all, and aside from our local butcher shop, my two favorite hot dogs are Hofmann of Syracuse and the Piggery of Ithaca. Seriously, unforgettably good.
Other Milks
After a virus gave her lactose intolerance, my daughter declared she hated milk. We tried to find an alternative, because children MUST have milk. I bought soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk, and finally rice milk. She declared them all disgusting. And I agreed. Most of them taste artificially sweet. They're not milks, not from the breast of a mammal. They're processed beverages. Why do they get to be called milk? At some point, my fridge was entirely full of milk that no one was drinking. I began wondering why we didn't just eat soy, almonds, or rice. Whole milk, if you aren't intolerant, tastes so much better. End result: we settled for being a family who doesn't rely on milk. We buy whole milk only and a lot more yogurt.

Divorce Lessons From Robin Williams That Saved My Childhood
Source: 20th Century Fox
As much as I despise the term "child of divorce," I am one. My parents' divorce has drastically affected my life in every area, from the expert way that I pack suitcases to my ease in detaching from unhealthy relationships. As an adult, I am grateful for the divorce that defined my childhood - but I never could have gotten here without Robin Williams.
The Summer that my parents separated, I went through the motions of coping with a newly split household: anger, lots of crying, confusion, self-blame, and social withdrawal. A lot of my time during those months was spent picking out new VHS rentals at Blockbuster, then retreating to my bedroom for film-fueled escapism. It was during this time that I discovered Mrs. Doubtfire, the movie that changed my life for the better.
Source: 20th Century Fox
As I watched the Hillard children process their new living situation, I found my footing in my own. Sally Field's character, Miranda Hillard, mirrored my mother in her struggle to excel at work, parent resistant children, and maintain a suitable home for her new smaller family. Perhaps most strikingly, I saw my father reflected in Robin Williams's portrayal of Daniel Hillard, the loving, goofball dad who fears losing his children. While my parents had a more amicable divorce than the one portrayed in the film, Mrs. Doubtfire seemed to perfectly sum up my own situation.
In the movie, as he goes to comical lengths for quality time with his children, Williams's character perfectly articulates three lessons that are vital for any child to hear while their parents end their marriage:
- It's not your fault. Many kids, like me, blame themselves when their parents split. One of the major messages in this film is that marriages fail in spite of the children, not because of them. Daughters and sons of divorcees might have to live in the wake of a broken relationship, but it's crucial for them to learn that their presence did not shatter something that was already broken.
- Regardless of your parents' marital situation, you are loved. If anything is made clear by Mrs. Doubtfire, it's that a divorce doesn't lessen parents' affection for their children. The important takeaway for children watching the film is that, much like Williams's character refuses to give up his kids, parents have a love for their kids that runs deeper than anything else.
- Sometimes, divorce is the best choice for a family. Unlike other children's films that grapple with broken homes (I'm looking at you, The Parent Trap), Mrs. Doubtfire does not resolve with the parents rekindling their love. While viewers may hope for a traditional happy ending, by the end of the story, it becomes clear that the Hillards are better off a divorced family. It's incredibly valuable as a child to see that, when a couple is incompatible, sometimes the best resolution is to end the romantic aspect of their relationship. Despite their failed marriage, Field and Williams successfully co-parent their kids, removing them from an unhealthy environment of resentment and constant conflict.
Source: 20th Century Fox
I laughed and cried my way through Mrs. Doubtfire probably a dozen times that Summer and still tear up whenever I catch the film on TV. Williams's sincerity in his portrayal of a struggling father helped me come to terms with my parents' divorce, coming out of it a better person. Without his genuine encouragement to children in similar situations, an entire generation of "children of divorce" would have been lost in the shuffle between two homes, never getting affirmation about their unconditional worth as sons and daughters.
The loss of Williams is especially hard for kids who've dealt with divorce, but his impact is unwavering. Two decades after he impersonated a British maid, Williams still offers solace for those struggling in their home lives, particularly the children to whom he related so much. While living in a world without the lovable Mrs. Doubtfire is hard to swallow, the lessons that he taught will never fade: "Sometimes they get back together. And sometimes they don't, dear. And if they don't, don't blame yourself. Just because they don't love each other anymore, doesn't mean that they don't love you."

4 Reasons Jon Snow Will Ultimately Win the Game of Thrones
Going into the final seasons of Game of Thrones, one big question seems to loom above all the rest: who will win the Iron Throne? There are plenty of hats to throw into the ring. Cersei Lannister and all of her delightful madness are currently hoarding the crown, and it may very well stay that way. Additionally, it would be remiss to leave out Daenerys Targaryen, who has seemingly been vying for the throne since episode one and may be more crucial than we realize. At this point, though, we're placing our bets on Jon Snow, and we've got plenty of evidence to explain why.
1. He Fits the Prophecy of Azor Ahai
Avid watchers are very familiar with "The Prince What Was Promised," a phrase often uttered by Melisandre. The Red Priestess has hawked this prophecy all over Westeros, and popular consensus seems to be that The Prince is the reincarnated Azor Ahai. Like the Prince, Jon Snow was technically born of salt (in his mother's tears) and smoke (the carnage from the battle at the Tower of Joy). If Jon Snow is the great hero who will bring about the end of the White Walkers, how could he not assume the throne thereafter?
2. He Literally Came Back From the Dead
If Jon Snow can actually cheat death (with a little help from Melisandre), it's almost as if he's under the protection of some higher power. If he can survive this, what can't he do? Perhaps he's destined to rise to power.
3. He Has Astounding Leadership Abilities
Jon Snow's decisions in the past few seasons prove he's got a good head on his shoulders. He is fair and always seems to act in accordance with the law of the land, something he very likely gleaned from the late Ned Stark. Plus, he will bravely fight for what he believes in; he goes headfirst into the Battle of the Bastards without a second of consideration. These are marks of a world leader. The fact that he's already assumed his role as King of the North proves it.
4. He's a Targaryen, Meaning He's Entitled to the Throne
Last year, HBO dropped confirmation that the late Rhaegar Targaryen is Jon Snow's real father. This means, technically, Jon Snow is an heir to the Targaryen name. Targaryen blood is part of the royal lineage (remember Aerys II Targaryen, the Mad King?), which is why Daenerys has been hellbent on claiming the Iron Throne for herself. However, that was when Daenerys was presumably the only Targaryen left. With Jon Snow alive and a technical male heir to the Targaryen name, the Throne should be his. Then again, Jon Snow is a bastard, and only half of him is Targaryen. Who should really be seated on the throne?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Reunite With Beyoncé and Jay Z For Blue Ivy's Birthday
After a tumultuous few months, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are diving back into their normal daily routines. On Friday, the couple visited Beyoncé and Jay Z at their home in LA. While their kids, North and Saint, were noticeably missing, the duo reportedly stopped by to celebrate Blue Ivy Carter's 5th birthday, which is on Jan. 7.
Kim and Kanye's visit comes nearly two months after the rapper called out Beyoncé and Jay Z during his Saint Pablo concert in Sacramento, CA. During his rant, Kanye said that Beyoncé only agreed to perform at the 2016 MTV VMAs if she won video of the year over him. He also slammed Jay Z for not calling him after Kim's terrifying Paris robbery, saying, "You still ain't call me! Jay Z, call me! Jay Z, I know you got killers, please don't send them at my head." Less than a week later, Kanye was hospitalized for exhaustion and sleep deprivation at UCLA Medical Center. No word on whether or not Beyoncé and Jay Z reached out, but it looks like they're putting the past behind them.

The Photo of This Baby Will Make You Do a Jaw-Dropping Double Take
Source: Reddit user bretstar
Why, oh why, is this beautiful baby squished into a tube?!
Your first thought upon stumbling onto this photo might very well be, "This has to be a photoshop joke . . . " But it's not a joke at all - this baby is sitting in a very real contraption called a Pigg-O-Stat, and it leaves a lot of room for questions about life, the world, and everything we have come to understand about modern medicine.
The Pigg-O-Stat is an X-ray machine for babies, designed to position and hold infants during the scan without significant complications and to attempt getting a clear image the first time, resulting in less exposure to radiation.
Although the idea is kind of genius, the photo, which was submitted on Reddit, has elicited a lot of confused - and hilarious - comments. Our favorites: "It looks like that baby is about to be sent through the tubes at the bank drive through," and, "Augustus Gloop: The Early Years," a casual Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory reference.

So what do you think about the Pigg-O-Stat? Would you let your baby in one?

See the Gorgeous Photos That Tell a Tragic Birth Story
Photographer Amber Fife tells her clients that she is available at any time, should the mom-to-be go into labor earlier than expected. Families who are expecting hope for the best - to go to full term and deliver a healthy baby - but that isn't always the case, so the birth photographer makes herself available.
When Amber's friend Sarah received news at 23 weeks pregnant that she'd needed to be on bedrest until her December due date, Amber hoped for the best - that she wouldn't get a phone call about an early delivery any time soon. But Sarah went into labor the next night, and the doctors gave the baby a five percent rate of survival rate. Sarah's baby boy was delivered via C-section, and two hours later, Amber and Sarah's husband, Bryan, were able to see him.
His tiny one pound, five ounce body was tangled up in wires, with doctors surrounding him, trying to keep him alive. Amber left to give the family alone time while they waited the night out, and hoped, once again, that she wouldn't get another phone call - but again, the phone call came.
Sarah and Bryan's sweet little boy lived for six-and-a-half hours, and Amber photographed his last minutes, with his mom and dad holding and kissing him. Though this story is truly tragic, Amber - and the family's - wish in sharing the photos is that "they bring compassion, hope, gratitude, and healing for anyone they can."

The Viral Story of an Abandoned Dog Found in a Garbage Bag Will Make Your Heart Cry
Malissa Sergent Lewis was driving through her hometown of Harlan, KY, when she noticed a black garbage bag moving along the side of the road. Curious, Lewis went to inspect the bag only to find an abandoned puppy inside of it. Though the puppy had a collar, it didn't have a tag.
In an interview with The Dodo, Lewis explained the unexpected and horrifying discovery. "I could hardly wrap my mind around that," she said. "Something was alive in that bag, and I just knew I had to get whatever it was out." As one might imagine, the dog was relieved to be found. "As soon as I opened it up, and he saw light, he just started wagging his tail. He knew he was OK," she said.
Lewis has yet to figure out the circumstances surrounding the dog's abandonment, but investigators are reportedly looking into it. Lewis did share the miraculous story on Facebook in a series of videos that have gone viral with close to 20,000 shares. Accompanying the videos is a caption that states, "If this is your puppy, let me know. If you are the scoundrel who put it in a garbage bag and tossed it on the side of the road . . . you're a sicko."
Lewis is currently trying to find a permanent home for the dog, but she will continue to foster it until that happens. Perhaps one of those 20,000 viewers might be interested?

This Is How All Your Favorite Food Network Stars Make Chicken Noodle Soup
It's hard to screw up classic chicken noodle soup. But whether you're making it for the first time ever or are a seasoned pro looking to switch it up a bit, look no further than these popular recipes from some of our favorite Food Network hosts. Paula Deen adds a creamy touch, Tyler Florence goes the extra mile with homemade stock, and - naturally - Giada de Laurentiis puts an Italian spin on the traditional soup. Keep the chill away and cozy up with a steaming bowl of comfort food, courtesy of the following pros.
Tyler Florence: Make Your Own Stock
Tyler Florence doesn't cut any corners, and especially not when it comes to chicken noodle soup. The homemade stock in Tyler Florence's chicken noodle soup is what sets this soup way, way above a canned version. Don't be intimidated - all you need is a whole chicken, a few fresh vegetables, and herbs, and you've got homemade stock for a batch of this soup and beyond.
Paula Deen: Don't Skimp on the Cream
There's no shame in adding a little fat to chicken noodle soup, making it creamier and even more comforting. Paula Deen's chicken noodle soup calls for heavy cream, parmesan, sherry, and mushrooms, so it's a bit more bulked up than the traditional brothy soup you're probably used to. Served with crusty french bread for dipping, it's the ultimate wintertime comfort food.
Giada de Laurentiis: Swap Spaghetti
You know Giada is going to put an Italian spin on just about anything, especially anything with the word "noodle" in it. Instead of egg noodles or small pasta, Giada's chicken noodle soup calls for spaghetti broken up into two-inch pieces. Giada also recommends adding a parmesan rind (the rind adds tons of flavor), lemon juice, and grated romano cheese.
Alton Brown: Add an Aromatic Herb
Sure, you're used to thyme and parsley in chicken noodle soup, but try Alton Brown's chicken noodle soup with finely chopped tarragon. The aromatic, anise-like herb adds an incredible depth of flavor that will leave you slurping up spoonful after spoonful.
Rachael Ray: Chop Parsnips
Along with the classic mirepoix of onions, carrots, and celery, Rachael Ray's quick chicken noodle soup calls for an unexpected vegetable: parsnips. The root vegetable adds substance and subtle flavor and pairs perfectly with the rest of the diced veggies.
Anne Burrell: Sprinkle Cinnamon and Nutmeg
When you're feeling really creative and need something out of the box, try Anne Burrell's chicken noodle soup. With ingredients you'd never expect - cinnamon, nutmeg, chickpeas, and cilantro - this isn't your average chicken noodle soup, but in a good way. The recipe has a five-star rating for a reason, and people can't get enough of the spiced, soul-warming soup.

The Story of This Dog Rescued From a Meat Farm Will Absolutely Stun You
Image Source: Facebook user The San Francisco SPCA
In mid-February 2016, Humane Society International was able to shut down a Korean dog-meat farm - cold, exposed to the elements, and stuck in cages for their entire lives, the dogs who were rescued had never experienced human kindness. Sixty-four of them were transported to the San Francisco SPCA to begin anew, but what happened when they arrived stateside was unlike anything rescuers had ever expected.
One of the rescues, a Golden Retriever named Casey, had a much different reaction to her newfound freedom than any of the other meat farm rescues. While her furry peers were frightened and unsure about life outside a tiny cage, Casey responded well to humans, leashed walks, and even a regimented bathroom schedule. Rescuers at the SFSPCA realized that Casey had likely been somebody's pet before ending up at the Korean meat farm. They weren't sure how she ended up being raised for slaughter, but Casey's new handlers were completely stunned - and so are we - by her sweet temperament and playful attitude despite everything she'd been through.
You can read Casey's full (mostly happy!) story in the above Imgur gallery, then keep up with the rest of the Korean pups and their rehabilitation journey on the SPCA's Facebook page.
3 Signs Your Preschooler Is Gifted
Thanks to standardized tests, it's somewhat easy to tell whether a grade-schooler has above-average aptitude. But curious parents of preschoolers may have a more difficult time determining whether their children are "gifted," having fewer benchmarks against which to measure them. "Although I suspect my daughter is gifted, I am still waiting [until] she can be tested to call it officially," says Maggie J.
Nisreen V. also says her 3-year-old son shows signs of being a gifted child - he has an adult vocabulary and asks lots of questions - but she can't really compare him to other children his age because he's not yet in school. Once she does start sending him to school, she wonders, will the school help her figure it out?
Some readers with children who've been deemed gifted by their schools say parents of preschoolers indeed might need to wait until their children start grade school before they are labeled "gifted" (which often occurs in first or third grade). Yet they nevertheless suggest moms keep an eye out for the following three signs that a young child is gifted - and offer advice on how every child's talents can be nurtured.
1. Your Child Learns Language Quickly
"My son, not quite 3, recognizes all the letters, has most of the sounds, knows his colors, knows his numbers, counts objects, is starting to read words like 'rattlesnake,' has a huge vocabulary … and has incredible logic and reasoning skills," says Laura P. "I'm wondering if he is a gifted child, and if so, do I encourage this or let him be a little kid?"
Many mothers of gifted children say Laura's suspicion that her son is gifted is not off track. One of the first indications of their children's above-average abilities was the speed at which they learned letters and vocabulary. Deborah C. says her daughter was the poster child for highly gifted kids and had advanced language skills. "Her first word was 'elephant,' right before she turned three months old. She spoke in sentences by six months, and by 18 months, her language skills were that of a four or five-year-old," she says. Additionally, her daughter knew all her colors, shapes, ABCs, numbers, opposites, and left from right before she was 2.
Alicia T. says her son stood out as gifted because at 3 1/2 years old: "He pretty much taught himself how to read phonetically. He also learned the alphabets of at least four other languages and how to count in several of them as well."
2. Your Child Has a Love For Learning
Gifted children sometimes experience frustration when they're not learning, Alicia T. adds. For example, she says while the rest of her family may happily "zone out" watching a TV show, her gifted son prefers to watch YouTube videos on how to write letters in Hebrew or how to count in Japanese. Because of her experience, she suspects "a gifted child isn't happy unless he or she is learning something."
A gifted child's inquisitive nature to learn new things often requires constant conversation and attention. Denise M. says it's hard keeping up with her 4-year-old son's interests. Michelle D. calls her son a sponge for knowledge. She says he loves to learn anything and as a result believes gifted children learn in a different style and thus need more enriched activities.
3. Your Child Exhibits Other Talents
Even if your preschooler doesn't exhibit academic gifts, she could still be gifted, say Jami L. and Tegan D. Jami shares that her son didn't learn to read until he entered kindergarten, but then he excelled by leaps and bounds. In nine months, he was able to read at a first-grade level.
Tegan says her 3-year-old daughter can't read yet, but she is emotionally gifted, sensing when her baby brother is nervous or frustrated and exhibiting empathy toward animals. "Gifts come in all different shapes and sizes," Tegan says, "but the key difference is it's the ability to think beyond and differently to other children of that age."
Whether your preschooler is gifted or not, Hayley M. says you don't need to raise your children any differently. "If he is gifted, then you don't have to encourage it; it's who he is!" she says.
Megan W. and Debora C. agree, saying moms should encourage their children's love for learning but not push preschoolers to excel academically. "It is easy to think they need to get out into school ASAP," Megan says, "but three- and four-year-olds need comfort, stability at home, and opportunities to improve their play and socialization skills during the day."
Megan sends her son to preschool part time to socialize. "I'm aware that he won't learn anything new there," she says, "but being around a group of kids his age and getting used to the 'class' structure is a good idea before formal school."
Praise your child for how hard he works, rather than for being smart, clever, or good, Cathy M. advises. "That will help your preschooler to be more hard working, rather than give up as soon as things start getting tough," whether your child is gifted or not, she says.
And above all, as a reader who goes by "Flower Girl" says, a parent should respect the qualities that her child has. "Just because some children do not have a higher IQ doesn't really mean much. We should love our children for who they are."
