Parenting children is not as easy as it looks. Children now are dealing with stressors from school, peer pressure and social media. As a parent we want to keep them safe, and we want to guide them to be the best versions of themselves. However, they can be resistant. Connecting with our children is so critical in being able to provide the needed guidance. Learning communication tools and how to set clear boundaries can be very effective in helping your child.
Gifted kids have special needs. Here are some of the things that Talented and Gifted children have told us they need help with. They need to:
“...get my teachers to listen to me about being bored.”
“...not get so stressed out about every thing.”
“...find out how to get out of doing busy-work.”
“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”
“...know what to tell my parents when I bomb a test.”
“...know how to get along better with kids who aren’t T & G.”
“...quit acting dumb to get other kids to like me.”
“...not feel embarrassed when kids say, ‘What’s Target Class?’”
“...know how to get along like a regular person.”
“...know what to say when I make a mistake.”
