How to Tell If Your Child is Gifted — and What to Do About It - MyPressportal - Free Press Releases South Africa
By Nicola Killops| MyPressportal@ It doesn’t always start with a perfect report card. In fact, it rarely does. It starts with the child who feels everything. The one who couldn’t tolerate tags in their clothes as a toddler. Who noticed when you changed shampoo.

It starts with curiosity that doesn’t switch off. With memory that feels eerie.

But what if those measures don’t capture the true depth of a person’s mind? What if someone thinks faster than the tools designed to express it? I’ve spent years working with gifted students who don’t fit the mould—students whose thoughts race ahead of their ability to get them onto paper.
