What makes a child special and
gifted may not be normal for others, but they have a different way of looking
at the world – Chuck Grassley. A gifted child is more than a normal person that
needs more special treatment. They deserved to be treated in a different way
because of they are born differently with others. This topic is a fragile one
because it is experience by some people and it needs thorough action and
attention. Have do you respond to people who are gifted in appearance and way
of thinking?
Knowing
how they become special is the basic key in understanding them. Being one of
them is surely difficult because it is hard for others to understand them. Putting
yourself in their shoes can also be done to know how they feel when someone is
bullying them. Giving them much attention can give them idea that they are not
alone in life. Have time in befriending them for this not they don’t have the
most – friends. Sending them at special schools can be a medium for them to
meet new friends who has the same capability of thinking. Show them the love
and acceptance so that they would feel belong.
Treat their uniqueness as
another aspects of your child that needs care and attention. Praise them for
all the efforts and teach them about things normal people do. Recognize their
talents and praise them for all the good deeds they did. Being a gifted child
shall not limit their ability to interact with others. Lead them in interacting
with others in building a strong bond with others. These children need to feel
loved and one of us in order to improve their relationship with others. Giving them
much attention and understanding will help us in knowing what are their purpose
in life.
