Dr. Michele Borba will be appearing on NBC’s TODAY show on September 24th. She is interested in hearing your questions about on the topic of “gifted” children and gifted programs in schools. Do you have questions like:
How do I know if my child is gifted?
How should I treat my gifted child?
My child’s friends are in the gifted program, but he/she is not. What should I do?
Should I even consider putting my child in a gifted program?
Will being in gifted program help or hinder my child in the future?
How can I make sure I’m utilizing my child’s ability to the fullest?
Leave your questions in a comment below and Michele may answer them live on the air on September 24th!
Hi Dr.Borba,
I have a 16-year-old daughter, who has been tested and labeled as highly gifted. She has trouble “turning off her mind” at night, and therefore, she gets way too little sleep. Is this common among gifted children, and what can or should be done about it?
Thank you!
Cathy
Hi Dr Borba,
The public school we attend only has a program where the gifted children are taken out of their regular classroom for a couple of hours a week. Usually missing Art, Music, Computer etc. Is it worth it?
Thanks
Debbie
Hello Dr. Borba,
My daughter says that she sees a tube or box in her mind that sometimes looks rough like when she speaks low and then when she talks louder she says it “feels” smooth. She is 7 yrs old and reads at a much higher level and seems to understand things alot faster then other kids her age. I am concerned about the visualization however. Have you ever heard of this before? Thank you, John
