Giftedness is not a gift.
And parenting a gifted child feels more like a road race filled with hidden obstacles than a walk through the park.
The truth about gifted children is this:
- they may have trouble fitting in, at any age
- they may feel different, as if something is wrong with them
- they may do very poorly in school because they’ve lost interest
- or they may do so well they are totally unchallenged
- your school system may not be equipped to truly give a child what you need
- they may find it hard to be fully themselves, even at home
No matter where you live in the world, as a parent or guardian it is up to you to help your gifted child feel good about who they are and to help them develop the tools and thinking skills needed to create happy and fulfilling lives.
