Provide a stimulating home environment, rich in
opportunities for imagination and fun; creative and
mental development should be encouraged.
Treat your child with respect and dignity; self-concepts
are developed early.
Encourage your child to take risks; show your child
how you are willing to try new ideas and activities.
Trust your own instincts where your child is concerned;
no one knows your child better than you do.
Remember that your child has the emotional and
physical needs of a child, regardless of his/her degree
of giftedness.
Help children to live graciously with their gifts and
appreciate the gifts of others.
Being gifted does not mean that one is better than
someone else. Gifts mean nothing until they are
opened and used.
Foster in your child the zeal to strive to fulfill his/her
potential and to support others in their drive to do
likewise.
