Aside from formal education, Alvino offers additional considerations and strategies for parents of gifted children. Evaluate your parenting style. Relax any overbearing personality traits, and try to focus on positive aspects of behavior in your child. Balance permissiveness with authority, and be sure to allow for unstructured time. Discipline doesn't have to be negative.
Children require structure and age-appropriate responsibilities.
Rules should be few, reasonable and consistently enforced. Provide an enriched environment with lots of materials and opportunities for exploration. In most cases you will serve as a role model for the way your child deals with stress. Creativity requires a nurturing, expressive climate. Allow for regression, solitude and divergent thinking.
