1. Your Child’s Well-being
Understand that: Giftedness does not begin with grade school testing or start and stop with a school bell. Recognition of giftedness is important if parents are to understand why their child is different and how to best cope with these differences. Gifted children have special needs at home and school that should be understood and attended to for optimal emotional health and development.
2. Your Child’s Education
Understand that: With education in its current state the special needs of gifted children are most often, not met. If your child is at the higher end of giftedness chances are very good you will need to seek alternative, or additional options to their education to get their needs met. If your child is in the mid- range of giftedness he or she may be able to get their educational needs met within mainstream school as long as either you or the school can provide enrichment opportunities and they are allowed to learn at their own pace.
