Why is this site different from other sites for gifted children?
This site is a forum for parents of young children seeking ways to maximize their child's talents in a way that's sensitive to their overall development as a person, placing their emotional wellbeing as the highest value.
Much thought on child prodigy emphasizes the nature side of the nature/nurture debate. Child prodigy and genius is considered an entirely genetic phenomenon. This site emphasizes the equal if not greater importance of environment in raising exceptional children: prenatal, early childhood and beyond.
We still find a bias toward mathematical and verbal skills in existing gifted/talented resources. This site encourages parents to seek out and promote skills among all of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences.
This site is by parents for parents. We aim to cut through the academic jargon and clutter in the Education Industry, even to the point of questioning the value of the terms "Gifted" and "Prodigy". Over experts we favor the real stories, experience and wisdom of parents of gifted children and child prodigies.
