RE: When Being Gifted is no Gift.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Oh my goodness @minismallholding, this is such an important topic! I was the gifted education consultant for my public school district for 3 years, and during that time I saw so much misconception around what makes a child "gifted." The research is just starting to catch up with what parents have always known - sometimes being gifted becomes a curse. It is so important to learn directly from the parents and children. I believe I am raising 2 of my own, and would love to chat with you more about your experience sometime. Sending you a big hug 🌱

As a parent often we're initially excited by the idea that our child is "gifted" (assuming we never were), but it doesn't take long to see the problems emerging.
I'd be very interested to hear your perspectives from your time as a consultant.
