I know there are children who learn things such as reading and have an innate concept of number without a person - or an app, or the TV - properly teaching them. I think it's fair to say such children are unusually gifted.
However, if a child learns such things much earlier than usual, but via something or somebody teaching them (note: they are not being 'pushed' in the sense that they are keen to learn, ask questions endlessly and retain the information they gather), does this class as gifted?

Can a child be gifted/talented if they haven't "learned it all by themselves"?
