Parenting gifted children can be just as demanding as parenting a child with other special needs. They can exhaust their parents and make them feel inadequate and even helpless. They can become antisocial and withdrawn if they think that other children and adults misunderstand them. They can also become bored and troublesome in ordinary lessons.
Most children at some time are ahead of their age in one form of development or another, but parents should bear in mind that super performance in one or two areas does not make their children especially bright. The characteristic of a bright child is that she is ahead of her age in nearly all forms of achievement and in the acquisition of skills. She is, across the board, a super-achieving child.
The gifted child will enjoy all kinds of brain exercises and teasers and may even find some of them very easy. A gifted child learns quickly and is able to use that learning in a very broad sense. While giftedness in itself is not a problem to the gifted child, it can become one because of the reaction of others. Misunderstanding between parents and children can lead to children becoming introspective. This may not be a big problem, but if a gifted child becomes a loner and draws on his own imagination, he may become isolated at the time when he creates and manipulates ideas.
Gifted children usually have exceptional talents like musical or artistic ability, special mathematical or linguistic ability, or spatial ability, and a very high IQ and parents have difficulty providing sufficient stimulation for their children. They may want to consider an accelerated learning program for such children.
Taking care of gifted children is hard work. Parents have to remain healthy for their children’s sakes. They have to keep replenishing their energy to avoid becoming short tempered, impatient or argumentative. Like all children, gifted children also need the atmosphere of love and warmth, calm and rhythm, interest and enthusiasm, for proper growth.
It is best to remember that despite giftedness, they are still children and they learn through example and imitation. Their experiences need to be enriched too, through varied activities. It is better for them to have regular guided lessons two or three times a week.
Parents’ attitude towards learning, education and study is very important as they directly influence their children’s attitude towards school, different subjects and even teachers. A positive attitude is absolutely essential if children are to enjoy school and get the most out of it. Teacher-pupil relations play an important part in influencing a child to love going to school. A child who goes to school with a negative attitude towards teachers, which has been encouraged at home, is very unlikely to get on well, as her attitude towards all teachers tends to be unfavorable. For a better learning outcome, parents should work hand in hand with the child’s teachers and reinforce at home whatever is taught in school.
Parents can start getting their children involved in decision making, like allowing them to decide what clothes they would like to wear, what healthy food to include in the daily diet, or what game to play once work is done, how long they would like to spend in reading a book or what to buy for Grandma. The more responsibility a child is given, the more responsible he becomes.
Parents should also pay attention to proper nutrition and rest for their children. Fatigue and overtiredness can make a child irritable and quarrelsome. This will invariably affect his relationship with others. Malnutrition and a lack of a balanced diet can lead to a low energy level, which not only undermines physical activities and qualities such as curiosity and adventurousness, but also strength and stamina. This would then affect enjoyment and learning. They may also produce shyness, irritability, depression, and anti-social behavior. It is the parents’ responsibility to teach their children to relate to others. For a child to be socially accepted, his antisocial behavior should not go unchallenged. It must be corrected before it becomes habitual and spoils his chances of being one of the group.
A child should be allowed to develop his or her own individuality. Parents should avoid trying to fit their children in set patterns. And timing for any intervention is important. A child who is not developmentally ready will not learn. No amount of effort will help if the child is not developmentally ready.
One final factor to consider is the child’s siblings. If one child is weaker, he is likely to get the lion’s share of parental attention leading to sensitivity about favoritism in the others. Rivalry between siblings, competition, bad feelings, and resentment can be heightened. A weaker child is likely to develop a follower personality pattern, and feelings of inadequacy and martyrdom, while the stronger may feel discriminated against and learns to play the leader.
A child’s personality is made up of three components- emotional well being, activity level and sociability. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure that their children are well adjusted in all three areas. This will make for a happy child and it is this quality in children that will help them accept frustrations and obstacles more calmly and to look for ways to overcome them. A happy child is also more sociable and liked by everyone.

The patented dreamgenii® Pregnancy Pillow is Recommended by Midwives across the UK and is recognized as the only specifically designed pregnancy pillow to adequately support back, bump and knees at the same time without taking up all of the room in the bed.
It encourages you to lie on your left side which is the best position for mother and baby (But is just as comfortable on your right by passing the leg support through the back of your knees) and gently prevents you from rolling on to your back during your sleep (Which can restrict blood flow to your baby).
Using the dreamgenii® Maternity Pillow from about 20 weeks pregnant, can also encourage your baby to adopt the optimal birth position which can mean a shorter and less painful labor.
The dreamgenii pregnancy pillow used as a breastfeeding support, is designed to support your back during feeding and keep the baby at the correct height and position for breastfeeding.
This is definitely something I didn’t expect two years back.
The Third Year of Breastfeeding
Two years back, during World Breastfeeding Week, hubby and I brought our precious little darling, Alicia, to Kandang Kerbau Hospital (KKH) for a free baby massage lesson, specially organised for breastfeeding mothers. Back then, she was just a month old, grappling with, amongst other things, mastering the latch. Then, I never thought that I would breastfeed beyond six months and the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) recommendation of breastfeeding up to two years and beyond was just beyond my imagination.
The Early Days
Looking back at my breastfeeding journey, I recall how I almost gave up breastfeeding because of the problems I faced in the first month: very sore and cracked nipples (I could barely recognise them!), blocked milk ducts, and blistered nipples after Alicia bit them (more than once) during the ‘latching wars’. If you think having blistered nipples are bad, having the lactation consultant clear my blocked ducts was far worse. It was definitely one of the most excruciatingly painful experiences of my life, comparable to labour pains.
Breastfeeding in the first month was terribly painful and tiring. I had to pump every 2 – 2½hours for 30minutes (because Alicia couldn’t latch well in the first month), bottle feed her, then wait for her to settle into sleep and hold her up for awhile just in case she regurgitates everything out, wash and sterilise the pump and bottle … and this cycle just repeats throughout the day.
I hardly got a two-hour stretch of sleep and was literally a walking zombie. I always looked forward to the weekends, when my hubby would help with the night feed after I pump milk so that I could get that little bit more rest. The fatigue was killing me and with the very painful nipples I had to tolerate 24/7 (they hurt just by being in contact with the air, not even fabric!), I really felt like ending breastfeeding.
This wasn’t what I thought breastfeeding was supposed to be. Nobody said that it’d be so painful and tiring. Everyone only said how good breast milk is and how it seemed so natural to just place baby at the breast and voila, the baby knows how to nurse.
I was so tempted to give up breastfeeding because the pain was really getting to me. I tried alternating between formula milk and breast milk for a few times to let my nipples heal and to monitor how Alicia took to formula. In the end, she didn’t take well to formula milk and always regurgitated most of it out. Even then, I was still in two minds about whether or not to make the switch.
Eventually, it was the guilt of giving up breastfeeding that kept me on the course: for that few days that I pondered over the matter, I cried uncontrollably whenever I picked Alicia up, thinking what a terrible mother I was to even think about giving up the best milk in the world for her. I could never do such a thing to my daughter. One day, I just decided that I would persevere no matter how difficult it was going to be. I really couldn’t imagine how much worse things could get anyway.
There has been no looking back since.
Nursing My Toddler
Time truly flies as honestly, it feels like not too long ago that I faced all those problems.
And now, my little baby has become a happy, contented, cheerful toddler - still little though, but she was very small to begin with, even in the womb.
Nursing a toddler feels… different. It’s become more fulfilling, more so with every passing day.
Imagine your toddler telling you ‘thanks’ after a milk feed and that your milk’s ‘nice nice!’. If that doesn’t tug at your heart strings, I’m not sure what would.
This ability to show her appreciation for mummy’s milk is something that I’ve been so looking forward to - after all, it is a little boring to feed an infant who hardly knows how to appreciate your milk, except to show you that contented look after she finishes nursing… not that I didn’t enjoy those moments with her though. It’s just a different phase I guess.
So here comes the question, which I get asked ever so often: when am I gonna ever stop breastfeeding?
My answer is simple.
When she wants to stop.
And when will that be? Who knows?
One thing you can be sure though, I’ll be happily nursing her till then.

Creativity is in every one of us, it needs to be nurtured and developed to their full potential so that we can become productive individuals in life.
In this new age of living, creativity is important for one to survive in the society as one needs to be able to generate new ideas and respond creatively to a wide range of circumstances.
It can strengthen the child’s ego, allow for independence, and help the child confront and cope with many things in life.
However, children nowadays are facing with great demands from adults and they grew up being told what to do by adults. Being creative is not about what children knows; it’s more about their ability to process, innovate and transform the knowledge gained into something positive, new and better.
So how can we help to nurture creativity in child?
Valued the process more than the product. Encourage children to play with ideas and explore solutions rather than pressure them to do what you want. Value and validate your child’s ideas without trying to fit them to yours.
Discuss ideas with a spirit of fun and laughter to make the experience pleasant for your child.
Respect and listen your child’s voice. This helps to build your child’s confidence of taking risks and being original.
Encourage creative thought and artistic expression. Establish a free, open atmosphere where self expression is encouraged and valued. And provide a variety of materials and keep activities open-ended, it encourages them to explore and express themselves without rules.
Support physical creativity with role playing and movement. Be the role model for your child, join in the fun and have imaginary play or music and movement activities with them.
Ask your child open ended questions or give comments that will stimulate them to think and nurture the creative atmosphere. Examples, “It’s fun to try it different ways”, “Tell me more about it”, “Let’s try it anyway”, “Have you thought of any ways?”, “I see you are having lots of fun”, “What do you think is going to happen?” etc.
Always create a positive environment. Sometimes you may be surprised by your child’s ideas and think that it is not possible or he/she is wrong but do not put their ideas down. Tell them “Wow what an unique idea, I did not think of it before. Let’s try it out or let’s think if there are other ways to do it.”
Ideas to boost your child’s creative juices
Invite your child to invent his/her games and play with them.
Bring your child outdoors and have cloud watching together. Ask your child what he sees. Example “The long and curvy one looks like a snake”. Create a simple story with the ‘things’ he sees.
Provide a tape or audio recorder and have him create his own commercials, songs, or stories. Playback and listen together.
Give a blank journal that your child can write in everyday and design the cover page of the journal.
Dig your closet and play dress up with your child. Encourage a world of make-believe and pretend.
Tell a story and stop before the ending. Encourage your child to change the ending to his own.
Kitchen stomp! Bring out your pots and pans for your child to create music and different ways of playing.
Have your child put his hands and ideas to create a kite together with you and watch the creativity soar up high in the sky.
Remember parents are the key to open your child’s creativity in them. If your kids grow up in an environment where you model creativity and using your imagination, they can’t help but become a part of this too!
