如果懷疑小朋友是資優,應該讀甚麼類型的幼稚園?

gitmee

DBBoy has raised an issue that every parent of gifted children should ponder.

My friend, whose child is exceptionally gifted, has researched extensively on this subject.  He has shared a lot of his findings and experience with me.  In brief, encouragement and understanding are no doubt a must.  Avoid over expectations, both on the child and the school.  Implement home-schooling.  Create opportunities for abundant exposures.  

Last but definitely not the least, to us Christians, we should remind our children and ourselves that there is nothing to be proud of.  Their "giftedness" is "given" to them by our Creator.  They shoud be humble and should accept the fact that they have limitations too.  We always pray to the Lord for wisdom to make use of such giftedness to glorify Him and to benefit other people in need.

DBBoy 寫道:
Do you ever wonder why we seem to have so many "gifted children" and so much talk about "giftedness" these days??  A child spends 1/5 of their day (when awake) at KG and maybe 1/3 at Primary school.  Isn't provision of a good environment at home a matter for concern as well?

Any views on how "to do" or "not to do" for parents of gifted children?

我想起仔仔學校校長說，無需急於做測試，只要把孩子當作資優兒去教便可以了。

翻看仔仔小時候的錄影帶，才記起他未夠兩歲已說很完整的句子，會捉弄爸爸；兩歲半已看汽車雜誌，認得大部分汽車品牌，對數字非常敏感，當時還以為個個BB都是這樣呢！

雖然他讀幼稚園時，我們開始懷疑他是資優兒，但一直掙扎到他差不多九歲才下定決心做智力評估。在此以前，我和丈夫安排他早一年入讀小一，給他學深一點的數學，看深一點的課外書，他問問題我們會很認真去解答。現在證實他是資優兒後，我們的生活沒有多大轉變，但會進一步鼓勵他嘗試更多新事物。

我個仔而家兩歲10個月大, 而家既情況都好似妳個仔細個既時侯, 佢對數字好敏感, 好多問題, 好好記性, 有時問佢d野佢真係會用腦諗過先答妳, 06年會讀k1我幫佢選擇咗間比較活動教學既幼稚園, 我都覺得妳既方法幾好等我試試先

sindy,

你好呀! 我岩岩今日先發現呢個topic, 睇完你地的討論, 都深有同感為小兒選校的煩惱.

請問你個小朋友依家讀邊間幼稚園呀? 因為我囝囝都係係語言及認知能力方面比同齡高. 所以請指教, 如不方便可以pm我. 謝謝.

Can you tell me which school is your son study?

Tmom

Gitmee/Sindy and other parents,

Do you mind to share with me how you let your kinders know that you suspect your child is gifted and usually how are their responses.  Is is better to let them know that you suspect your child is gifted or one should remain silent or not?  Say if the teachers said that the kid is exceptionally good in certain areas, should I response of my guess that he might be gifted?

Thanks

Sindy

係既話,老師會主動出聲的呀

我當年無同囝囝的幼稚園老師講呀，因為我驚自己高估

In my opinion, if your kid is gifted, you should let the school know. Just like my kid, she likes asking questions. If teachers don't know that she is gifted, they may find that she is quite annoying!

In fact, we don't let her know that she is gifted but did mention that she should train up her EQ!!!

My son also keep asking questions, and making role plays in the school.  And interested in lessons he feels interesting, but most of the time he is walking around and making role playof his own (such as moving all the chairs to make a train and pretending he was the driver!)(he done this when he just joined nursery at 2).  

So the teacher did voice her concern about my son, but more on the negative sides, thinkking that he is annoying, not attentive..naughty etc.  and each time I felt like OK, I will just "swallow" what she said      though I have reflected to her more times that she should "understand him" more rather to label him as "扰乱分子".  But after the first term assessment, she mentioned to me that he is exceptionally good at certain areas.

I am also afraid I have "over-assessed" my son and in fact he is not gifted but just naughty!  But I also want to "justify" myself that he is gifted so he is so annoying and naughty to the others.  :cry:

做老師會看得出該小孩是否gifted child.

我都覺得我個仔資優,
唱歌, 係佢面前唱一兩次就會識打埋拍子, 唱頭尾兩個音比你聽, 因為佢記唔哂歌詞。
外語, 除廣東話外, 英文,國語(唱歌)同福建話都識d。

不過我都覺得佢係傻傻地........
講野, 近來先識講多左野, 好大個先識講爸爸媽媽。表達能力都唔係咁好, 有時唔知佢想點。
專注, 除左聽歌/睇廣告, 佢係唔會專心超過5分鐘, 都唔知佢他日點返學。
唔鐘意望人講野, 除非兇住佢, 否則佢都唔會習慣望住人。

    
所以, 都係比佢正正常常, 開開心心咁入去是但一間幼稚園。不過都唔知佢會唔會有咩問題, 因為佢未夠3歲。

Hi, Mammies,

My boy is now 5 years old, studying K2 in St Joseph.  He is a "question" boy! He keeps on asking and asking about various stuff since 3 or 4.  Sometimes I don't even know how to explain to him;
Like recently he read his sister's book" Uncover the Human Body".  He started to feel scare about death.  He worries so much that I don't even know how to comfort him.

He will ask me also like how long the tongue is and what it is connected to..... Why the blood is red in colour.  He is sooooo interested in reading "Mother and Baby Care", coz he likes to know how the baby is in the womb.

Sometimes, I might think that he is a gifted child.  However, I dare not to take him for any assessment (for the time being).  Anyway, I will just treat him as one!!! I will try my very best to entertain his questions.

leung_i,

You are on the right track.  Teach your child the way you teach a gifted.  Keep him involved when you are searching for answers.

My husband and I had struggled for several years before taking our son to the IQ test.  No hurry about that.

silvia,

我唔係想嚇你, 不過希望你留意一下個小朋友唔望人呢個問題.  因為我有屋企人

CHOLE,
唔該你呀, touchwood仔仔都係眼神接觸差d, 其他都ok。我都唔知可以點改正佢呢個問題。佢好似唔耐煩人地同佢講道理/要佢認錯, 每次同佢講呢d野都會係咁。

Chole

silvia,

我見治療師教佢每一次叫人都要望住人叫,就算佢唔肯papa mama or 工人都按住小朋友個頭, 一定要佢向住我地.  習慣

leung i,

My son is also a "question" boy, asking all types of questions from time to time. Curious to know everything we say and do. Very talkative.
Since your kid is now studying in St Jo's Kindergarten, do you think your boy enjoy his school life very much? How do u think of this school? I ask this coz I am going to take my boy to attend interview for St Jo's very soon. Thanks so much.
