  Exceptional Kids:Gifted and other Exceptionalities

Balancing reality with emotions:

With so many natural disasters lately, it is almost unavoidable to shelter our children from learning about global tragedies.  We need to
be asking ourselves:  When is the right time to teach our children about some of the sad realities of our world?  Whose responsibility is it?  How much do we share with them?  Why is it important to control the rate of information flowing to young minds? 

Balancing the natural curiosity of gifted children with their excitable
tendencies and immense compassion for others is essential to maintaining that healthy line of not growing up too fast.

An "Exceptional" Quote:

“Having the knowledge or the ability to reason is not the same as having the ability to make a good decision.”
Deirdre Lovescky
