Watch appropriate programs with your child and discuss what you have seen. Provide a suitable environment for your child to do homework and to think and develop ideas. Be understanding of the pressures facing your child at school. Be helpful where you can. Celebrate academic struggle with your child.
Challenge takes place when students struggle to find answers and solutions.
This is an important part of the learning process. Be aware of and involved in your child's school activities such as plays, concerts, and science fairs. Keep informed of lectures, classes, and activities offered by museums, libraries, and local colleges. Many of these activities are offered at little or no cost. Be an active participant in parent education classes and advocacy groups for parents of gifted students.
