What else can parents do? • Don’t rely on the classroom alone to satisfy your child’s desire to learn. Investigate after-school programs, weekend programs, summer classes, and distance learning experiences. • Gifted children may tend to focus only in areas where they excel because their only standard of acceptability is perfection. Encourage them to take risks! • Stay informed of opportunities! http://onslowaig.weebly.com/
