For PARENTS

Providing Support and Clarity .

Training You to Detect the Spark

Identification Guidance

As constant companions, parents have the unique opportunity to glean a special spark in their child early on that perhaps a teacher may not.
As stalwarts in the gifted education sector, we know that every child is like a snowflake – unique and distinguished.
Due to emotional attachments, lack of awareness about gifted education, or confusion about the roadmap ahead, parents often have a hard time being objective about their child’s giftedness.

Spotting giftedness traits

To be of assistance, we have a handy list of common giftedness traits that might help you make a fair assessment.

  • Asks many unusual, thought provoking questions.
  • ​​​Displays a keen sense of humour and sees humour in situations that others may not.​​ 
  • ​​​Has high grasping ability.​​ 
  • Recognizes that there are alternative ideas or solutions to problems and creates many original options.
  • ​​​Is concerned about justice and fairness.​​ 
  • ​​​Has many interests – some are long-lived, but interest in others quickly disappears.​​ 
  • ​​​Keen observer of the surroundings.
  • Assembles or disassembles mechanical objects and devices.
  • Shows high emotional sensitivity.​​
  • Has a vivid imagination.​​ 
  • Appears forgetful, chaotic, and indifferent to time constraints (but there is a logic for the child.)​​
  • Self-directed or autonomous learners.​​
  • Does things in his/her own way; avoids typical way of doing things.​​

Sharing the Experiences

Parent Support Groups

Gifted children need distinguished collaborative efforts from educators, mentors, counsellors, and, of course, parents. 

You as parents are your child’s best advocate. Being unique and different and finding one’s place among peers and in the world, is a life-long journey for a gifted individual. A solid home foundation thus becomes a crucial part in the lives of gifted students. 

To prepare parents for the needs and challenges ahead, KGERC has established Parent Support Groups, a collaborative community that bands together for advice, comfort, and experience-sharing. 

For parents of gifted children this creates a platform to share and take pride in their child’s achievements without reservations or hesitation experienced usually with parents of non-gifted. Parents are also able to empathize with each other, become acquainted with future pathways from parents of older children, and share their insights and wisdom with others. 

We organize meetings that are open to the community. Meetings are held on the 1st Saturday of every month from 10AM to 12PM at the KGERC office and the 3rd Saturday of every month from 10AM to 12PM at the KGERC center at KHSB (​Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao High-school).​​​
