Gifted children are "gifted" with a laser focus on the unusual things that they find fun - math, music, what-have-you
Gifted children have the gift of being interested in things that are useful, that can give them money or high status like art, math, chess, technology...
A child who has an obsessive interest with candy or playing tag or watching TV (or just normal stuff that normal children do) will have to work harder to resist more temptations and focus on schoolwork and useful things.
