It’s wonderful that you’re invested in your child’s education and success. While it’s natural to want to support them in every way possible, it’s important to note that test preparation isn’t always the most effective approach for gifted and talented testing. Gifted testing is designed to assess a child’s innate abilities and potential, rather than their ability to prepare for a specific test. Instead of focusing solely on test preparation, nurture a love for learning, exploration, and critical thinking in your child. Encouraging your child to engage in various activities, pursue their interests, read widely, and engage in conversations that stimulate their curiosity can be more beneficial. This holistic approach helps develop the skills that gifted and talented programs often seek, such as creativity, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of concepts.
