About gifted children

Gifted children are born with natural abilities well above the average for their age. If your child is gifted, you might notice these natural abilities in the way they’re learning and developing. Children can be gifted in any area of ability, and they can also be gifted in more than one area. For example, a child might be gifted creatively and intellectually. Or they might have above-average physical coordination and memory, or more social and emotional maturity than other children their age. Children can be gifted at different levels too. That is, some gifted children have more advanced abilities than others. And some gifted children also have disabilities. For example, a child who is intellectually gifted might also have autism or hearing loss. Being gifted often runs in families. And gifted children are found in all cultures and all types of families. ‘Gifted’ is the term most people use, and it’s used in relation to abilities of all kinds. You might also hear people talk about children with ‘high potential’ or ‘advanced development’ or children who are ‘extremely bright’ or ‘very athletic’.

About talented children

Gifts become talents when they’re developed and nurtured.

This means that gifted children become talented when you support and encourage them to use their natural gifts to learn, concentrate and practise. For example, if your child is gifted musically and you give them opportunities to learn a musical instrument, they might develop a talent for playing. Many things influence whether a gifted child’s natural ability becomes a talent. These things include family values, educational opportunities, personality and motivation, health and chance opportunities. For example, if your child is gifted in the area of business, with your support they might develop this gift into a talent for marketing and selling eggs their chickens have laid. You’ll usually notice talents from about 6 years. But sometimes talents show up only later in older children and teenagers. Generally, by late primary school age or the teenage years, a gifted and talented child will be achieving at a very high level in one or more areas.

Gifted and talented children can have abilities and skills in many areas, and an individual child can be gifted and talented in one or more areas. These areas include:

academic learning

leadership

social issues

technology

the arts – for example, music

the ability to make friends

business skills

physical skills – for example, sport or dance.

Signs that children might be gifted and talented

You’ll generally know if your child is more advanced than other children the same age. For example, some intellectually gifted children teach themselves to read at a young age, like 3 years old. Some physically advanced children might excel early in junior sports or physical activities. Another sign is that your child might prefer to talk with older children or adults. For example, your 4-year-old might relate better to 6-year-olds than to children their own age. Gifted and talented children also learn differently from other children. For example, if your child is gifted, they might:

be able to concentrate and focus well on tasks

be intensely curious and ask sharp questions

learn very quickly

have an extremely good memory

be very imaginative and creative

have advanced speech.

People might comment on your child’s abilities if your child is gifted and talented. Gifted older children and teenagers might show their natural abilities or talents when they start a new subject. For example, your child might start chemistry at secondary school and learn new ideas much faster than other students. Or you might notice talent when your child wins an award – for example, being selected to swim at the national championships or winning a woodwork prize in a local art show. You know your child best. If you think your child might be gifted or talented or your child has been identified as gifted and talented, you could contact the association for gifted and talented children in your state or territory. These associations are listed in our article on support and programs for gifted and talented children.
