Six Types of Gifted Children

2. Challenging, divergent, disruptive, creative with system, creative thinker, maybe pessimist and introvert. Noisy class and too much group work may cause distress and an eruption of emotion. Teachers are not keen on too many of these in class.

3.  Underground - hides gifts to be with peers, works enough to pass OK, maybe puts time into peer fashion/ sport. Some orginal peoples have shared culture that discourages individual gifted behaviours and poverty can be a social grouping that is fairly binding in acceptable behaviors – not study. The look average.

4. Dropout, angry, frustrated, bitter – need counsel- manipulates the system. Causes anguish to everybody. Can refuse any co-operation and any help. It seems that they are not accepted for who they are and we want to change them. Only longer term counseling can help them. It is not an educational problem but a belief and mind set in them. They are likely to refuse help.

5. Learning disabled but seems average, unrecognized or refused G&T to “repair” weakness – Irlen syndrome & poor auditory memory or processing may not be noticed for years as the gifted child guesses so well that it covers up the weakness. Also tiredness and immune problems are high in the gifted who have extra sensitivities to foods as well as chemicals, drama and fights, insults, and news items . Dr Linda Silverman, working with geneticists, found that the BIG 4 sensitivities were to wheat, cow’s milk, oranges and chocolate. Sue Dengate in Australia, has found that anatto, no 160b, in bread causes oppositional behaviour in the sensitve and salycilates in fruits lead to hyper behaviour.  That’s as well as chemical additves, artificial colours, manufactured and smoked meats, processing, additives such as fructose, aspartame. We follow the Blood Type Diet and this has been successful www.dadamo,com . This has made a wonderful difference to our energy levels and no medicines at all ever.  Parents of the gifted need to pay attention to this as we have found it to be the biggest factor in being able to achieve to our fullest potential. We have to integrate knowledge across several disciplines as we are a small minority of the population with a different set of genes. We can’t behave like everyone who is less sensitive. Watch out for dark circles under the eyes, glue ear, sniffles and “colds”, pains in the tummy, constipation, dry skin, tired after a meal, allergies, asthma. Use our free test to check but do it away from a meal and when the child seems well.  The gifted also can’t sometimes swith off the thinking so lose sleep. They need a very calm hour before bed- no fast tv images or computer games. It’s no wonder many are unrecognized at school and can’t peform to their potential

6. Autonomous, balanced, leadership, uses system and can become great. Make up their own minds about how hard to work in the circumstances and what else they have planned. Still need a good coach at the appropriate level.

Only types 1 and 6 are easy to identify in schools.

NB The new study of epigenetics and leads in quantum physics are adding interest to G&T education all the time. So far no-one has found a brain location for long term memory, where we hold our idea of our identity. Since all our cells change every few years, what sort of thing can it be?

Thanks to Dr Maureen Neihart for her research and publication in the 6 types of gifted children.. All WiseOnes teachers have this lived experienced of her research, with their own children so they have had the incentive to learn in this area. It is the combination of a lifetime of experience, a high degree of curiosity and the academic study as a fast learner themselves that makes consulting one of our leaders so valuable. The list of leaders is in the side bar and their own page will give you contact details and an idea of where they are located. The Founder of WiseOnes has 5 of the 6 types in her own children. Dr Maurice Balsan found that place in the family had a lot to do with that.

Prof Francois Gagne says there ought to be 10% of your school in special faster programs. How many is that? WiseOnes takes the top 5 – 7%. How many is that?. They have special needs for being and for learning.
