Doctor say that our 6 years old boy is genius. What is our responsibility and what shall we do for him?

Answer 1

Be sensitive to what works for him--don't force him into a program just because an "expert" says it's what he needs. Expose him to different learning situations, but as you do that realize that life is a learning situation. Don't limit it to schools or other programmed learning situations. Encourage curiosity and inventiveness.

Subscribe to one or more children's book clubs that feature explanations of the world (a science book club, for instance).

Anticipate and defuse a time in the future when he will want explanations from someone other than you or teachers by involving him in community groups that have members of all ages and levels of expertise. This is also important to keep him from being limited by the idea that all knowledge comes from certified experts.

Read him books (or get them so he can read for himself) about other geniuses. Think about and discuss the ways they learned. Open your eyes to possibilities. Not many geniuses actually take the conventional prestigious school route. If your child is a genius, his life, including his learning experiences, will probably be unusual in some way, so keep an open mind and allow for that.

Being a good parent and nurturing your child will be a unique experience. Expect it not to fit into a mold, and don't sweat it.

When you're concerned with something he's doing, or some difficulty he's having, ask yourself if the problem will still exist 15 years from now, or if he'll grow out of it with time and experience.
