precociously
Beyond one's years
Precociously describes doing something in a manner that shows development or ability beyond one's age.
A child who precociously reads philosophy at seven or precociously composes music displays talents typically seen in much older people.
The word usually applies to intellectual or artistic advancement, occasionally to physical maturation: She precociously entered puberty at nine.
