IV. Summary:
According to the Centre for Talented Youth of Ireland gifted children demonstrate
a range of characteristics which often set them apart from their peers. If you think your
child may be exceptionally able then check out these general character traits.
Remember all children are different and may be stronger in some areas and weaker in
others. This list is useful in that it can be used as a possible indicator of talent. In other
words, it's a good starting point, if you feel your child may be fall into the gifted
spectrum. If you find yourself ticking a lot of these boxes then maybe you should
considered having your child assessed. As these indicators suggest intellectually able
children experience the world differently from their peer group and this often sets them
apart. Isolation can happen quite easily, particularly at school, where the children's
innate sensitivity and their often adult take on the world makes it even more difficult for
them to make and keep friendships. They can sometimes be seen as a bit "weird" with
their adult language and interests. However, it's important to remember that despite
their high intellectual ability, often coupled with an understanding way beyond their
years, these are still children with all the same sensibilities and vulnerabilities of other
children. This is why they need all of the support and nurturing that we as parents and
educators can give. Their needs are special and different to other kids. Their potential is
enormous, these are possibly the future thinkers, scientists, writers of the future, but
they will only blossom if they are taught in a way that is appropriate to them. A talent in
whatever discipline, whether it's in sports, music, literature, the visual arts or science will
only develop fully if it's supported.
