Re: 資優兒
Hi mazbongo
Just share my personal experience about my son.
1. Dig out his strength and build on, give him more challenge:
Before his IQ test, we discovered he is very good at numbers, direction, excellent memory, always ask questions and why etc. A friend of us recommended him to take a math program by EPGY (Subsidary of Stangord University). He finished 4 years program in 12 months, he found the program is challenging and keep on excel in maths.
2. Ask for help like psychologist or social worker:
We are lucky to have a very good psychologist to assist us to understand a gifted kid. As parents, we misunderstand his attitudes and actions, without the external support and guidance we will be the same to blame my son as naughty. E.g. he likes to play and make alot of noise and seems to talk to another person near by him. Normally, my wife will stop him, but the psychologist explains to us that let him do it, its good because he makes up some situation or story, which is creativity. If we record it down, we can understand he creates some stories and interesting topics.
3. Talk to teachers and principal:
We talked to the principal and shown her my son's IQ report. She enrolled him into a creativity group particularly for fast learner and gifted kids. They learnt something outside the normal class, which is more challenging for their age. E.g. mind map, EQ, presentation skill, creativity projects. Teachers also pay more attention on their behaviour and attitude during the class. e.g. as my son very good at maths, his teacher assigned him to follow up a classmate or a junior student, used his gift to help those kids to improve their maths grade. In P4, he assisted a classmate's score from 56 to 87 in 2 months. I asked his classmate during the birthday party, what's the difference of my son's method compare to the teacher. He explained to me that my son used more than one method to illustrate how to solve the problem, so he can pick any method he can easily understand to solve the problem. After a while, my son's EQ improved as he is not just a student in class, he is a junior teacher in the class. So he behaves much better in class.
4. Let him have more exposure to understand many smart kids around:
My wife will arrange some challenges for him, say EPGY will organise Talent Search Test all over the world, also in HK. My son went for the test 3 years ago, 600 kids sit for the test. he knows that his talent need to improve and be more competitive.
5. Gifted and polite:
Gifted doesn't mean you can do whatever you want in class. If he does, ask yourself, how he behaves at home, if yes again. The problem most likely from the family instead of classroom. You need to do something and stop to spoil him. e.g. when my son at P1, we explained to him that doing homework, pack his school bag, revision for test and examination are his responsbility, also no matter how smart you are you need to respect your teachers and don't affect classmate to learn during the class. It sounds simple and common sense, but I can ensure you that not many parents really do it. Now, he is at P6, we are no need to help him for revision before examination. He score straight A in all subjects.
I heard a seminar 6 years ago presented by Prof Wong Chung Kwong from Chinese University. If a kid has emotional or behavioural problem, as parents, we must examine ourself, his problems most likely come from our poor role model. it make sense to me anyway. |
