What Parents Can Do 1.
Gifted children are still children.
Parental involvement in early tasks demand training the children to perform tasks themselves, to count, tell time, use correct vocabulary and pronunciation, locate themselves and get around their neighborhood, do errands, and be responsible. Emphasis on early verbal expression, reading, discussing ideas in the presence of children, poetry, and music are all valuable. Parents should read to children. There should be an emphasis by parents on doing well in school. The role of good books, magazines, encyclopedias, charts, collections and other aids to home learning is important.
