| Many are under the erroneous perception that gifted children can thrive in a traditional classroom setting without any specialized services or support. And so, gifted children across the country are indeed "left-behind" due to inadequate or even a lack of challenging programs in their local schools. One report cited that a "little over one-half of the potentially gifted learners in the United States are reported to be receiving educational services appropriate to their needs". Recently, with many school districts having to decide between core services and gifted programs due to budget shortfalls - gifted programs are quickly expunged. But, there is still a very real and powerful solution that I've personally manage to find ultimate success with and that is.... parental empowerment. Parents, understand that you are indeed vital to the successful realization of your child's academic gifts and talents! In a 1985 study regarding high achievers and their personal surroundings, one researcher noted... "We were looking for exceptional kids, instead what we found were exceptional conditions." - Dr. Benjamin Bloom. Hi, I'm Michelle Brown-Stafford, mother to two highly accelerated students. "Gifted" labels didn't cross my mind when I exposed my children to early childhood learning. Imagine my surprise when I REALIZED MY CHILDREN'S TRUE NATURAL LEARNING ABILITIES as preschoolers!!! I continued a regiment of academics (sometimes after work...at times full-time) in the home - nurturing their abilities and academic talents and both kids went on to become a part-time college student AT AGE 11 and an EARLY HIGH SCHOOL HONOR STUDENT barely 13!! Many of our children are capable of learning at levels well beyond what they are demonstrating in the classroom. For instance, the country of Finland, who has one of the top educational systems in the world, have children take classes such as Algebra, Geometry and Statistics from the first grade onward! Also notice how these subjects are taught to students whose minds are just coming off what many child development experts label as the critical period of development - you guessed it...the PRESCHOOL YEARS!!
