I found this in a handout from a Dr. Delisle talk taken from the Akron Children’s Hospital: *86 words of encouragement for children.* If there is any single bit of advice to give parents to improve child behavior, it is positive reinforcement. In order to never run short of appropriate words for this purpose, use this list. 1. You’re on the right track now! 2. You’re doing a good job! 3. You did a lot of work today! 4. Now you’ve figured it out. 5. That’s RIGHT!!! 6. Now you have the hang of it! 7. That’s the way! 8. You’re doing fine. 9. Now you have it! 10. That’s coming along nicely. 11. That’s great! 12. You did it that time! 13. GREAT! 14. FANTASTIC! 15. TERRIFIC! 16. TREMENDOUS! 17. How did you do that? 18. That’s better. 19. EXCELLENT! 20. That’s a good (boy-girl). 21. That’s the best you’ve everdone. 22. Keep it up! 23. That’s really nice. 24. WOW! 25. Keep up the good work. 26. Much better! 27. Good for you! 28. Good thinking! 29. Exactly right! 30. SUPER! 31. Nice going. 32. You make it look easy. 33. Way to go! 34. You’re doing much better today. 35. I’ve never seen anyone do it better. 36. Superb! 37. You’re getting better every day. 38. WONDERFUL! 39. I knew you could do it. 40. Keep working on it, you’re getting better. 41. You’re doing beautifully. 42. You’re really working hard today. 43. That’s the way to do it! 44. Keep on trying! 45. You’re the best! 46. Nothing can stop you now! 47. You’ve got it made. 48. You’re very good at that. 49. You certainly did well today. 50. I’m very proud of you. 51. You’re learning fast. 52. You’ve just about got it. 53. That’s good! 54. I’m happy to see you working like that. 55. I’m proud of the way you worked today. 56. That’s the right way to do it. 57. You’re really learning a lot. 58. That’s better than ever. 59. That’s quite an improvement. 60. That kind of work makes me very happy. 61. Now you’ve figured it out! 62. PERFECT! 63. FINE! 64. That’s IT! 65. You figured it out fast. 66. You remembered! 67. You’re really improving. 68. I think you’ve got it now. 69. Well look at you go! 70. You’ve got that down pat. 71. Good work! 72. Outstanding! 73. I like that. 74. Couldn’t have done it better myself. 75. Now that’s what I call a fine job. 76. You did that very well. 77. Congratulations! 78. That was first class work. 79. SENSATIONAL! 80. That’s the best ever. 81. You haven’t missed a thing. 82. It’s a pleasure to teach you when you work like that. 83. You really make my job fun. 84. You’ve just about mastered that! 85. One more time and you’ll have it. 86. You must have been practicing. I hope this is helpful.

Many parents don't realize that their children are gifted. Otherwise they can provide the right supplements to develop their children’s unique talent at their early age, which will make a huge difference for their children. As a parent of a gifted child, I have evaluated many enrichment programs specifically designed for gifted kids. Finally I selected Beestar's online GT math program. Now my son has been using it for six months. To my surprise, my son enjoys solving those challenging math problems very much. The questions are well selected to be very interesting and mind-stretching. Although he is the top student at school, Beestar makes him know there's a bigger world out there. Many smart kids from nationwide show off their talents in the program. My son has a lot of fun in Beestar while developing his unusual talent. I am so happy we have found the right place for him.

The worst thing you can do to a gifted kid is betray them.

Always tell the truth

Great talk, I got a lot from it. Having a gifted kid is a blessing and a curse. You sacrifice a part of you every every day to meet thier needs. 8 hour sleeps and personal time is one thing I miss. My kid doesn't need much more than 8-9hrs per day. We bought those one word, one word picture books for him and read to him since day 1. His concentration was immense. Then after a couple of weeks we saw him lose attention, we soon understood this as boredom. After buying flash cards his attention was back. His thirst for information is insatiable. At 9 months he had 60 words by 1 year he could say 200+, he is about to turn 2 and stringing paragraphs together. Occasionally he reads words as we go through the shops. He looks at other 2 year old that sit in prams and use dummies with contempt. He hates being young, hates being treated different than an adult. He hates sitting in high chairs, using different eating utensils, hates his nappy... We can see that keeping up with him will soon become impossible. How do other parents do it? We want to give him the best chance and so much information it there is about identifying gifted kids. Teaching them has less information and keeping your sanity as a parent is non existent.

Hi Andrew, your comment felt like I was reading about my 3.4 yr old son. The same problem of getting bored extremely easily, same thing of doesn't want to be a kid, he calls himself big brother and the fact is he is my only child. He's too sharp and learns things fast, but the problem is to teach him anything against his wish. Mine has decided he does not want to learn writing and I am literally trying everything on earth to teach him writing. How are you coping with the little one??

I noticed my daughter was gifted at about 4- 6 months, I would do flash cards and she was saying the sounds the animals make, and them went on to saying the animals names by 6-9 months, walking before a year. She’s 3 now and I’m nurturing her giftedness, she can hold a conversation better than some 6 year olds. I didn’t want to push too much so we’re only starting to do reading now, but she’s already picking it up

I raised my kids in an international community of 400 families raising young ones. Learned to duck- didn’t engage with intellectual competition for littlies. Luckily there were enough folk who agreed with that approach so I ended up with a small circle of wonderful friends.

My daughter is 3 years old and she can hold a conversation better than an older child. She is extremely attentive and curious. She comes out with certain talks that shocks my husband and I. There’s nothing that goes unnoticed by her eyes. She asks questions and say things that are way too grown up for her.

You can use discussion points from the world around you. Two leaves in the Canadian snow- the dark leaf has sung into a hole beneath it. Why? Or set the periodic table to a tube and sing it with your littlies for fun. Discuss why they move forward as the train slows. Read them stories. Whatever they like eg biographies. Include some mythology. Listen carefully when they talk to you. Follow their interests. Good luck.

keep me posted on children who atre gifted

SOME Low income household children have the worst outcome when the state or county does not provide them with their educational needs. These kids are not being provided funds and challenges are being left behind, they go from high performance to ending dropping out of school or getting into trouble because they were never attended and given what they needed.

The best thing for those kids would be to lift mandatory attendance.

Start at 5min

45:30 ALWAYS picked last for dodgeball. Which makes sense because I wasn't any good but I didn't even get the point of it because I wasn't competitive so didn't want to be there anyway. I'm surprised to hear him say picked last for kickball in reference to gifted kids because I guess I imagined a gifted program wouldn't torture them that way. Then again if the other kids' attitudes had been more like mine maybe we'd have all begun to enjoy something about it.

those drawings creeped the fuck outta me LMAOOO 9:40
