Gifted and talented children share some unique characteristics that must be understood by counsellors, and teachers. These children need to be identified in order to provide challenging education that they so desperately need. When not feeling challenged, these children report being bored, which results in feelings of exhaustion and stress. Gifted and talented children are very sensitive to their surroundings, and are often bullied by jealous students. A school that provides advanced methodologies, understanding counsellors, and educated teachers can help to reduce these problems, motivating the gifted and talented students to excel above and beyond their potential.
