What a Child Doesn't Learn…
Inman, Tracy F.
Parenting for High Potential, v6 n1 p15-17 Dec 2016
When students earn good grades and high praise without having to make much effort, they may not learn the values and skills needed in order to be productive, caring citizens who contribute positively to the world. Some of the most important concepts for a successful life may not be taught to gifted children early in life because they are not challenged. Areas where high-achieving students may not learn include: (1) Work Ethics; (2) Responsibility; (3) Coping with failure; (4) Self-worth from accomplishment; (5) Study skills; (6) Decision making and problem solving skills; and (7) Sacrificing free time for responsibilities.
