Gifted Children


I'm writing these pages as the mother of a gifted boy.

Soon after I started wondering whether Theo was "gifted" I looked around on the Web for info on the subject. I never came across a personal account from an actual mother (in Australia), telling what it was like.

That's what this page is about: hoping to be of use to some curious parent out there.

Here are some topics and issues discussed:

  • Definitions: What does "gifted" mean anyway?
  • Distinctions:
    • Gifted or Talented?
    • Moderate or High or Extreme?
    • Academic or Otherwise?
    • Which kind of intelligence?
  • Determinations: Who decides who is "gifted"?
  • Diary: A personal account from a parent's perspective.
