Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Please help- 1st meeting with GT Coordinator!

Hi Nadia,
There is a lot of overlap in the elementary years. I would suggest telling the school that your family is committed to taking extra time for learning,if need be, to make sure that your son is caught up in any areas needed (there probably won't be much to catch up on- you will be surprised) and I agree that you can tell the school that you see any gaps as an opportunity to challenge your son.
Also, we found it helpful to remind the school that every child deserves to learn something new every day!
There is so many learning tools online that you can certainly find everything you need to fill any gaps.
I wish you the best at this meeting.
Also, a piece of advice keep the focus on your son so when the focus strays (on their part) bring it back to your son has the right to learn too.
Good luck!
