A gifted student who appears very serious, does not participate in any school activities, games or cultural meets. What will you do to bring out favorable interest in that child?

Children who are gifted are defined as those who demonstrate an advanced ability or potential in one or more specific areas when compared to others of the same age, experience, or environment.

Key Points

• These gifted individuals excel in their ability to think, reason, and judge, making it necessary for them to receive special education services and support to be able to fully develop their potential and talents.
• They have advanced thinking and comprehension above their age peers which makes them lose interest in the activities of the classroom.
• The gifted child sometimes may feel bored as they might feel the concepts and learn less interesting.
• They do not find the tasks challenging enough to cater to their abilities.

It is the responsibility of the teacher to develop their interest in the learning activities by molding their temperament gradually towards games and such activities.
