Early Identification And Education Of Gifted Children (Educating Our Children Book 4) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Unlike some books about gifted children this concise publication is written in easy-to-read and to understand terms. It is a guide to identifying and educating gifted children written for 1. Parents of gifted children 2. Educators in general and especially 3. Preschool teachers and aids 4. Elementary school teachers and aids Some children are born with extraordinary intellectual abilities. Graced with special gifts, they easily accomplish many difficult mental tasks that others will struggle with or may never master. These children are gifted, and their exceptional abilities are usually apparent in early childhood. Gifted children seem to have all the advantages. They generally • Walk • Talk • Read • Write • Make other accomplishments and • Arrive at developmental stages well before their age-mates. They sometimes receive special attention and privileges. They tend to appear as superior beings for whom life will unfold its many mysteries and to whom it will grant myriad rewards. In truth, however, gifted children are quite fragile and – like all children – they are at risk to experience problems. There is considerable danger that many gifted children will not reach their full potential. • Some will not have their gifts identified and others will have their gifts neglected. • Many become bored and drop out of school. • They are also more likely to become depressed or to develop suicidal tendencies than are other children. Because they are born gifted does not automatically mean their gifts will reach fruition. Like all children, the gifted require guidance. Parents and teachers must nurture them so that society may benefit from their extraordinary abilities. At the same time, however, parents and teachers must also remember to allow gifted children to enjoy all the normal experiences of childhood. Raising and educating a gifted child can be a complex task that requires maintaining a careful balance among her or his many intellectual, emotional and social needs. A growing number of school systems offer programs for the gifted and several models of school-based programs for the gifted now exist. Parents must carefully choose the one that most appropriately meets the needs of their gifted child. Gifted children usually begin showing their special abilities BEFORE entering elementary school. Teachers in nursery school, kindergarten and the early elementary grades can help parents to identify a gifted child and to determine the best course for developing his or her gifts.
