Remember how excited you were when you started school? At last, you were going to learn to read — the world would be yours? But it didn't happen overnight. There was a lot of hard work that came first. What about your own children? Many things may have changed in school, but it still takes a lot of effort to learn how to read. As a parent you can make it a little easier and a lot more enjoyable for your son or daughter.
Research shows that parents usually have a pretty good idea about whether their child is exceptional. How can you find out more about what giftedness means and about its implications for your child's future? Luckily there are lots of resources available, both in Calgary and on the Internet, to help you develop your knowledge about gifted children and to become a knowledgeable advocate for your child.
