Raising and nurturing a gifted child can be an exciting yet daunting challenge. A gifted child often develops cognitively at a much faster rate then they develop physically and emotionally, posing some interesting problems. The key to raising gifted children is respect: respect for their uniqueness, respect for their opinions and ideas, respect for their dreams.
