The  best thing we can do for our gifted kids is to ensure they are in a learning environment where they feel they belong and where they are supported to develop their skills - social and emotional as well as academic - and explore their talents. If this isn’t the case for your child right now, you may want to explore options to get them that support and find an environment where they can thrive.

 

Know that it’s good to get in early - even as young as two or three. Growing up with a sense of being understood, with an identity as gifted, helps our tamariki to go on to explore and extend their gifts at school and outside it, rather than to hide them or feel confused by them, which often leads to significant distress.
