In this week's episode, we're diving into the intriguing world of gifted children.

Now, even if you don't think your child is gifted, I encourage you to listen in because this episode is packed with insights that can benefit all parents.

I'll be sharing a unique checklist I've developed over the years. It's not diagnostic, nor is it infallible, but it's a tool I use to identify potential signs of giftedness based on certain behavior clusters. If these behaviors are present, I often suggest to families that they might want to consider getting their child tested, especially if they feel their child could thrive in a specialized educational setting.

Are you curious about the signs of giftedness and how recognizing these traits could help your child's development? If so, join me for this episode as we unravel the struggles and potential hidden talents of the gifted child!
