MORE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GIFTEDNESS
(please click on the links for the complete articles)
"Is my child gifted?" That is a question many parents ask. Finding the answer is not always easy because gifted children are individuals. They are as different from one another as non-gifted children are from other non-gifted children. However, gifted children have enough in common to make it possible to determine if a child is gifted or not. One just has to consider several different factors.
Useful article on distinguishing the differences between average, smart, gifted and exceptionally gifted children
Useful info and charts on identifying and distinguishing between different levels of giftedness from infancy upwards
Gifted Children have distinct social and emotional needs arising from the giftedness. These can lead to problems if not understood and properly nurtured.
Polish psychologist Kazimierz Dabrowski identified five of these intensities, which he called "overexcitabilities" or "supersensitivities": Psychomotor, Sensual, Emotional, Intellectual, and Imaginational. Gifted children tend to have more than one of these intensities, although one is usually dominant.
Useful Information on Child Development in Various Areas
Gifted Children are frequently early in achieving some, many or even all of these typical developmental milestones
The milestones listed here have been gathered over many years of giftedness-research.
Other Relevant Information on Parenting the Gifted
Natural Temperament and Learning Styles must also be considered. Research indicates these two factors are essentially inborn and that a child's maximum potential can only be reached when these factors are taken into consideration. The following links provide only selective information. A more comprehensive resource will be made available later.
