Understanding your Gifted Child
The Little Polymath
Age recommendations won’t always be appropriate.
Your child may need particularly sensitive content selection, but be capable of cognitive reasoning grade levels ahead. Our guides will help you choose books, games, toys, and more that are appropriate for your child.
Uneven Growth
A key characteristic of giftedness is dramatically uneven skills and growth. You’ll see areas of exceptional growth and unusual weakness, often in social and emotional areas. Your child may be able to do complicated math but struggle with catching a ball.
Exceptional Curiosity
Our goal is to foster and support curiosity across disciplines, using the child’s interests as our guide. From ancient world history to engineering, we follow and celebrate curiosity and learn alongside our children.
The Right to be Ordinary
As parents and teachers, our goal is to prepare our children for the realities of their differences while ensuring that they are still able to relate to and feel like a regular kid.
Polymath
noun
A person of wide-ranging knowledge or learning.
