TELL YOU IF YOUR CHILD IS GIFTED?

Tell others if your child is gifted? And what do you say? I share the reasons for doing this or not.

Tell you if your child is gifted?

If you just (sure) know that your child is gifted, your world is a bit on his head. Suddenly all kinds of things, perhaps even from your own youth, are clear. You're over there with the school and maybe with some people in your area. But do you tell people whether your child is gifted? And what do you say?

Keeping excitement for yourself

Let me start with our situation. For people from our area, the gift of our children was clear. But when we didactically test her (so we could determine where she is in school) we were still afraid of the outcome. Because she is so different and fast.

We always held her gift for ourselves, the report with school was already a big step. Then I wrote a blog how my daughter changed after she was able to speed up . I received very nice comments, sometimes from an unexpected angle. But my husband was upset: we would love it for ourselves?

I then told him that I do not share all ins and outs, not everything. But she is highly gifted, I do not mind sharing that. Important right!

Tell me about gift or not?

Whether or not you are talking about being gifted, either by yourself or with your child, is really your decision. The advantage is that people know more about your situation, or the disadvantage that people do not understand or think you're aware of.

Therefore, I do not use the word highly gifted, usually not. When people ask why my daughter has accelerated, I assume that she learns very easily and is a quick thinker. Often they often use the term "gifted".

At school they must know

At school, I think it's important that the team knows that my children are highly gifted. In addition, it depends on the situation or I am telling about it. I myself find it very annoying when people introduce their children with: this is Pietje, he is highly gifted. If it ends in a conversation, I'll tell you what I want to lose at that moment.

Now that my daughter is getting older, telling is also a lot more natural. The parents of neighboring children catch up on speeding up, or a neighbor indicates that my daughter is very noticeable. Then they come to me the questions they have put.

First orchard of Haba: tested!

I'm from a family of real gaming fans. And then I do not mean 'games', but the old school companions games . Cozy but fanatic with all around the board. And now that I am a mother of a toddler and a toddler, I have discovered that there are also a lot of fun games for that age. For example, we learned a little while ago about Haba's First Orchard. A game by which my boys are now also infected with the game virus. Win together or lose together Eerste Boomgaard is the perfect game to announce your children with games. The rules of the game are easy to understand and for a two-year-old child. What I like so much is that you do not play against each other but with all of them. There are four stuffed fruit trees to be picked empty before the raven reaches the orchard. The fruit can be picked by throwing a dice. Throw green, then you put an apple into the basket, with blue a plum and so on. But if y...

Let's Play Out!

It has been a trend for some years, but children are less likely to play outside. That's not a good news because playing outside is not only healthy and educational but also fun. Let's all play together together! How often do children play outside? And how does that happen? If we can believe British research (read well: British, which does not apply to Flanders and the Netherlands) , children are on average less than prisoners. For example, 26% of children in question would play out for less than half an hour a week. That's really little. This trend would be explained by various causes. On the one hand, it appears that parents are more cautious and see more dangers in outdoor games, on the other hand, electronic toys such as tablets are an attractive alternative for children to simply stay in. Some researchers also say that more school work leads to less outdoor games. A lack of safe playgrounds or a quiet street does not ...
