A child who is programmed on a relatively higher scale intellectually signals to be recognized as a gifted child. 

As parents, we are given many signals that our child may be gifted. Are these the only ones? 

Are there any red flags that would indicate that our child is not developing at an accelerated rate?

When it comes to a gifted child, the earlier the better. The earlier the child's giftedness is identified, the sooner ways can be worked out for them to reach their full potential.

Gifted children often begin communicating verbally at an early age, and they use vocabulary far beyond their age. These children often have a high curiosity level and dive into subjects with a passion not seen in most children of their age. Keen observation, curiosity, and the ability to think abstractly are a few signs that the child is gifted.

• They are curious and ask a lot of questions, conversations. 
• They take their approach to assignments.
• They have a large vocabulary and prefer adult conversations.
• They have original ideas.
• They are sensitive to their environment.
• Advanced reading ability.
• Superior judgment and reasoning ability.

Identification of gifted children is essential to see who would most benefit from special services.  Also, it is important to identify a gifted child so that parents can seek early treatment, which also provides opportunities to locate their hidden talents. Identifying a gifted child is a difficult process that requires the effort of both educators and parents alike. Teachers are often on the lookout for problems as they see behavioral changes in the class. A gifted child would be performing a little ahead of schedule in their development.  Maybe the child learns to read or write faster than the kids around them, or they have an exceptional ability to learn new tasks. We need to understand that gifted children are not just smart, bright, or intelligent; they are unique in every sense of the world. Gifted children at first glance appear to be difficult students as they would be annoyed or bored with school. Also, they hardly do homework or study for tests and are maybe oversensitive.

• A gifted child shows an unusual interest in certain activities or fields of study. Learn and can do things that are well beyond his or her age. This can include an ability to memorize information, solve complex problems or create things that are beyond what you would expect.

• Often, gifted children are also described as being intellectually, socially, or emotionally advanced.  Schools generally look at the ability and intelligence in all areas like academic, artistic, athletic, social, and so on.
  

• Gifted children often mean that they develop asynchronously, which means that their minds grow ahead of their physical growth, and this explains why they are in advanced progress than children of their age.
  

• Nurture your child’s interests

• Expose your child to new ideas and areas

• Provide intellectual challenges

• Avoid comparisons

• Be open-minded about their choice of friends

• Learn how gifted students think

• Respect your child’s self-understanding

• Offer emotional support

• Allow them to fail

• Keep a positive attitude about the school

• Get help from the experts

To conclude, gifted children, are endowed with higher levels of empathy than their peers have. Those gifts must be identified early and developed into talents. Besides academic and social outcomes, our gifted children must develop altruistic behavior to make a positive difference in society. A positive attitude plus action leads the way to success.
