Learning that your child is gifted can be both exciting and stressful. Highly gifted children need both acceptance and nurturing of their unique personality and particular aptitudes. The first thing parents should do is consult with their child's teachers regarding any gifted tendencies. If your child is not yet in school, speak with their pediatrician who should not only help you understand the situation but refer you to a specialist who can formally evaluate and diagnose childhood giftedness. In some cases talents and gifts may manifest very early in life such as during the toddler years. In others these characteristics may not develop or be noticed until elementary age.

There are various methods used for identifying gifted children. It is important to identify these children because they are the potential leaders, the very future of our world.
