What does it mean to be gifted?
If not all children are gifted, how do you know if a child is gifted? What are the signs?
Can children with disabilities be gifted as well?
Is giftedness something acquired through study techniques or learned through mental programming?
Or is giftedness something that a child is born with?
What if a child is gifted? What does a parent need to do?
What’s the difference between typical children and gifted children?
Do gifted kids have special needs?
Do you have all these questions in your head as a parent? Are you wondering if your child is gifted?
At first, I was happy and proud that he has been achieving his milestones quite fast. Then, those feelings turned into fear because I didn’t know how to handle his fast development. I also didn’t understand what giftedness really meant and how it would impact his life and our family life.
As my eldest child grew older, I became grateful that I discovered what the word gifted means.
The word gifted gave me a sense of relief somehow. It was a relief to me to know that the reason for my eldest son’s behaviors was not because he’s being disobedient or that I’m failing miserably as a parent. It was simply because he is gifted.
I have learned from the literature that I have read and from my own experiences with my son after reading A LOT of material on the subject that gifted kids behave differently from most children. That’s because their brains were wired differently.
The topics that I will cover are the following:
- Are all children gifted? What does it mean to be gifted?
- What are the signs of giftedness or twice exceptionality, especially in young children?
- What are the advantages of finding out if your child is gifted or not?
- What are the advantages of hands-on parenting to the gifted or twice exceptional child?
- What should you do when you see signs of giftedness in your child?
- What are the advantages of homeschooling gifted or twice exceptional kids?
- How do you homeschool a gifted child?
Aside from learning more about giftedness and twice exceptionality, parents will also have the opportunity to meet other parents of gifted and twice exceptional children and thus find a support group who will understand the same challenges and joys that they experience.
