Re: Any resources (books/courses) on teaching/parenting gifted children
Dear CherylMum:
Let me congratulate you wholeheartedly if your child has absolutely no signs of EQ problems! However, there are some issues that you have to consider. She has no problems so far may be due to the fact that she is still very young. At such an early stage of learning, her accomplishment may not be very different from her peers, so she's still feeling comfortable with peers. I guess if you can provide her with an environment where she doesn't feel "lonely" or "oppressed" as a gifted child, or if you can teach her to share her knowledge with others in a positive way, then she will continue to be considerate and cheerful.
No one gifted child likes repetitive learning, I can assure you. Indeed, "kumom" is most hated by gifted child because of its repetitiveness.
The fact that she thinks learning is boring is actually the issue that I worry the most. If a gifted child tell you that she's bored, it means what you give her is STILL NOT ENOUGH! It's also her way of telling you that her potential is still not fulfilled. If you believe that giftedness is affected by the surrounding, then the current surrounding for your child may not be the most appropriate one.
You said that she doesn't like to read new words because they are too easy, then give her some harder ones! It doesn't matter which level it belongs to. As a parent of a gifted child, you have to learn to ignore the recommended grade levels for the learning materials you find. Instead of just reading the words, you may ask her to use the words and write a sentence/story. Give her a dictionary and ask her to find out words that she finds hard then.
How does she react when she sees something that she doesnt' know?
It may be the same case for piano. Yet another possibility might be that she refuses to use the system that we all use for piano because she has her own. Do you notice anything like that?
What you told me is indeed very typical to a gifted child. At this stage, you may want to go for education books and looks for ways to teach your child. I actually have some information in hand that is quite relevant to you. It talks about how a gifted child may refuse to do the work you assign, how to find a mentor for your child, how to choose gifted programs, etc. If you want a copy, just e-mail me.
