 Helping
Your Gifted Child, Part One
If a
child exhibits characteristics of giftedness, parents may wish to have the
child assessed by a child development professional with experience in
evaluating young gifted children. Firstborn children are typically
recognized as gifted more often than their siblings. However, when one
child in a family is gifted, the possibility that others may also be is
greater. Early identification of gifted children, from ages 3 years
through 8 years, allows for early intervention. This is as important for
gifted children as for any other children with special needs. Find out
some early
signs of giftedness.
