Tips on what to do when your child is gifted

Around one or two children in 200 are gifted. Gifted children have the same psychological needs as any other kids — the need to be loved, to feel secure and to fulfill their potential. The dividing line between a gifted child and others of her own age is her exceptional thirst for learning.

They may possess exceptional abilities outside of academic. They may also have superior talent in music, art, writing, science or leadership. These children may undertake projects that no one their age may have imagined or attempted.
