Not all gifted people are recognized and have lavish lives and are decorated with awards. Some of them live normal lives without anybody ever noticing that they're gifted.
Considering he looked down as he said it all she did was follow his lead. She wasn’t being any type of way… Next time you’re having a conversation with someone casually do the same and see what they do.
A family of gifted people. His mother, his late sister and now his niece. He's also very very intelligent but he gave up his professor job to take care of his niece. He knows she's gifted but he wants her to have a life as normal as possible, which is what his sister wanted before she committed suicide.
that's interesting, though psychology shows gifted kids struggle later on in school because they never learned study habits because they never needed to... ending up less happy than regular kids. but i guess every individual will have a different experience
His mother was not. She wanted the reflected glory from her daughter and granddaughter despite all the cost it will extract from them. Awesome lady wasn't she?
My youngest son almost missed his chance. His genius mind could not comprehend all the information he was seeing. He developed terrible anxiety at 8 and it lasted until about 13. What helped him was an amazing educational psychologist that realized he was both left and right brained. My son was as gifted in music as he was in science and math. Luckily he fixed my son and he now earns in the 7 figures at 26. I always was worried that he would be sweeping floors at a restaurant despite being a genius. We all have met someone like that. I have always felt that this psychologist saved my son’s life .
@@stevenkovler5133 I was always told I was a prodigy as a kid. Not to this level, but still, that's NOT actually something you want to live through lol. I'm still working to relieve myself of the pressure I put on myself to this day.
What’s crazy about being gifted is u grow up with people calling u smart and it makes u overconfident as a kid and you develop high procrastination habits since u can “always do it later” to the point it becomes a daily habit. And as u get older you see people catch up to your knowledge level but with higher work ethic that u start being left behind. And you realize that life as an adult runs mostly on WORK and ACTIONS not just “intelligence”. Speaking from experience 😢
You’re right, but gifted children are often times just that GOOD in comparison to normal individuals. Get rid of that procrastination problem and you’ll advance at unmatched speeds.
Absolutely, I am experiencing this with my 16 year old. I still don’t think it was wrong to tell him he was gifted. We just need to find something that circumvents his procrastination. I was this way too, but also a teenage alcoholic so once I got sober that really improved my procrastination.
Damm you really described my life here, its very disheartening to me that as a kid I felt I could accomplish anything but nowadays that’s not the case, adulthood slaps hard.
@@Hayden-bx1txFrom what I remember basically in chipwrecked she plays this crazy woman on an island and she is obsessed with finding gold to make herself rich. When the chipmunks find it she forces Jeanette to get it because she is small enough to reach it. Then she tries to abandon her on the island while a volcano is erupting
When he said I learned it when I was eight…do I look gifted?..she should have asked him the same question that made her realize the kid was gifted to see if he was lying or not
@@Profile__1 yes I am talking about the last one where she had to get the calculator to check, and then the girl said “and the square root is yadda yadda…and was right
Can’t blame him. I can speak from experience. Almost everyone from my gifted class has had issues now 25 years later. Some worse than others, and some have learned to deal with them, others haven’t. Sometimes normal is good, especially during early development of important social skills.
I remember reading a chinese martial arts comic. Some guy's going "I'm a genius, I'm a genius!" And the other dude, who is considered somewhat average, but has quite a few years on him, goes "the only geniuses worth mentioning are the ones that manage to survive until they get strong enough." Being "gifted" isn't that special, actually using the gift is. Though there are a lot of outside factors that prevent most of "geniuses " to blossom.
Even in Japan there's the 3 methods of determination: 1) Natural talent or being "gifted" 2) wisdom attained by study 3) Perseverance In most stories 2 and 3 are superior to 1 alone as being gifted can only go so fat
No. But people with IQ’s over 140 lack in social skills. The higher the IQ, the lower the social skills, generally. And many don’t see things that others see as rude to be rude. So they don’t even realize they’re doing it. ✌️
A considerable amount a real geniuses actually decide to lay back because they see things they don't want to see because they see through the crap.. and it's ugly. They usually choose to live a modest life. ❤
I’m not top level gifted but I did AP and IB classes in school and was told how special we were. Lifted school and started to see the truth and mediocracy seemed the safest.
@@prion42 A prototyper, carving a mould for plastic injection, pick and place, soldering, emergency surgery - basically, a table with robot arms to do things I'm not good at.
Advise for teachers: Tratchenberg method is not difficult to follow. Teach it before traditional math. It will help academics and will prevent a lot of students from getting into 'I hate math' phase.
Teachers are evaluated on students' test results. They may be required to share mandated materials in class, but they are still in control of what happens in the room. I had plenty of teachers who did not follow lesson plans or books.
Loved this movie. He was so dedicated to not putting her in a rarified bubble. He wanted her to be able to socialize with all levels of people with out appearing arrogant or entitled.
Don’t go to Indian/Asian parents (yes ik most people say they’re the same, don’t want to argue) and say the kids are gifted. Aerospace engineering or quantum physics at 6 isn’t good enough for them 💀
@@PrinceVictory101"Don't go to Asian / Indians ( yes ik most people say they're the same, don't want to argue) and say the kids are gifted." Asians and Indians are the same..?? When and how did that happen?? I thought they were two different ethnicities 🤔🤔😶
He didn't want to hear it because he knew what "gifted" truly means... to gifted people. Someone who's labeled as smart, has some early success in life, but is constantly suffering from not being able to adjust to social norms, not being able to handle jealousy from other people, and due to later lack of motivation or other stuff, even performance can be hurt or affected negatively. Gifted means nothing on its own. In fact, for many, actually gifted people, it is a curse that they have to carry as a burden. They constantly feel disassociated from others, unable to connect to others, and most important, lonely all the time.
This movie made led me to start learning the Trachtenberg method. My procrastination has caused me not to go as far as I could have by now, but from the little I did learn so far... The Trachtenberg methods works guys, trust me! I hope to one day transcend from speed-calculations on paper to speed calculations in my head. How cool would that be?
It's useless. Trust me. Nobody is amazed when you are an adult or close to one. I was 16. Had exactly your idea. People will humour you. Then move on. It's not worth the effort. Mostly a useless skill. Yeah, you can calculate discounts faster when shopping. My friends and family just use a calculator. Which everybody now has on their phone. Or use me as one.
The worst thing you can do for a child is tell them they are gifted or special. Childrens brains are devloping and so is their sense of self and the first time they are challenged with something difficult they tend to brake because they have to deal with the realization they arent as special or gifted as they have been made to believe.
My parents never once acknowledged my gifts... did tell me I was worthless more than once. Thought I was dumb until I took the ASVAB test at 16 (I was going to drop out and join the Air force when I was 17) and got a 98. I did drop out but didn't join. Later in life I joined Mensa with an IQ of 154. You don't have to spoil the gifted child but you do need to nurture and feed their gifts.
@@thecognitiveconservative489 yea you lived the other extreme. I grew up with 7 older siblings and was always interested in school so I would watch them do their home work and constantly ask questions. So when I started school the teachers were constantly on and on about how gifted I was and how I should skip a couple of grades to match my level. Thankfully my parents were more concerned with me fitting in than skipping grades. I learned that most of my friends were just as smart as me they just didn't have the advantage of 7 siblings teaching them everything they had been learning in school before going.
I don't remember being told by my parents that I was special/gifted but I believed that I was special and this gave me a lot of confidence. I am smart but not a genius and I had no problem accepting that there were many people smarter than me but the confidence I had believing in myself helped me overcome many challenges in my life. So, I don't think that telling a kid that he is special is bad, what is bad is over protecting a child from reality.
Fun fact, most gifted kids grow up to be underachievers. This is due to a mixture of social pressure to remain the best and being less engaged by challenging school work. Most gifted kids tend to stop studying early as they dont need to but then due to all of this, fall behind and start doing poorly in school because they didnt learn the fundamentals on how to learn and research and stay engaged in such activities
It took 29 years, but when I was tested for autism, I was also tested for IQ and learning disabilities. Turns out that my IQ is 130 and I've got two learning disabilities. As well as ADD and autism. So as a kid I would have been considered "twice exceptional"/gifted, but instead I didn't get any help and nearly held back multiple times because I didn't understand how do things at times, had no support, and had an abusive home life.
Yours is Very similar to my story. My father used to hit my head and call me stupid. Turns out ai have a high IQ, learning disability and ADHD. All I need is a bit more processing time and a different way to process information. I went back to college and now I am a straight A student. Lots of hard work, but at least I found ways to get information into my head. Once it’s in there I could teach it 😄Not a genius but semi intelligent and people are keep calling me smart feels amazing. It’s still hard to believe it though, my father did an excellent job engraving stupid into my self-esteem.
I once met a barmaid in her 40s who could get any explanation first time, remember detailed descriptions, and ask straight to the point questions, on any topic (IT, History, Geography, languages...). Turned out she dropped her studies for night life when in her early 20s. I rarely met a girl so impressively smart. I helped her find a retraining program, 3 years later she turned a middle manager in marketing of a large company. God knows what she would have done if properly supported.
True cruelty is society teaching talented people that their talent isn’t real. He’s a genius who has a genius kid and he was brainwashed into thinking they weren’t.
I think, for the majority of gifted people, there needs to be a a specific set of circumstances around the person in order for anything to truly flourish as their life goes on. Someone inspiring, motivating, nurturing, someone truly brilliant, in your life, regularly for a start. Imagine being gifted, and having no one around you that matches you. Eventually you stop trying, then you fall behind, then the depression because you never lived up to those expectations of you. Now imagine instead you had a Neil degrasse Tyson, or Stephen Cox, or (insert any other inspiring person alive today) in your life, teaching you, supporting you, getting the most out of you. Your genius not only grows but you grow with it and you start meeting those expectations.
Being gifted and knowing how to use the gift are 2 completely different things. Most of the Gifted people you see who “Fail” later in life are only like that because they were never properly educated on how to use their gift or talent. Just being told your gifted doesn’t get you anywhere in fact it probably does the opposite, a “gifted” child with “gifted” parents will more than likely end up doing well if those parents managed to harness their own gifts properly, as they will be the example for the youngling to follow. That should be the whole point of gifted classes, identifying the gift and teaching them the proper ways to make use of it. Gifts aren’t all encompassing, some have physical gifts whilst others have less physical and more mental gifts, some may even have both, it’s all just how you nurture them.
I hate when people go around calling only specific kids gifted. Its a great way to either destroy their gift or foster an unnaturally large ego. Its basically emotionally ruining a child just because they are a little smarter.
Not all gifted people can excel in the academic world. I know people who failed every class every year. Can’t read or write or do maths. But are filled with common sense or are exceptional self taught engineers, artists, or have built up an unusual amount of general knowledge. The school system is not designed for everyone to pass. But in that design millions of genuine geniuses slip by without being noticed .
High IQ won’t get you anywhere without also having a high EQ or emotional intelligence. I’ve seen below average kids with high EQs blow *gifted* kids with low EQs out of the water as an educator. The biggest determinant of success in life is a high EQ hands down. This comes from parents who are emotionally intelligent themselves and provide a stable, loving, supportive, emotionally healthy environment for their children.
Not all gifted kids need their childhoods taken from them. Sometimes adults get a bit too excited with discovering the next Einstein, they lose sight that feeding them ideas of grandeur and pushing them to be things they don't understand harms children more than it helps. "But she's seven though" yeah, and unless she shows emotional maturity, she can stay in her current grade doing higher levels.
You are so brave for saying no to something that so many people dream of and chasing your true dream despite all those who will and have undoubtly told you was unobtainable. You should neither want nor care for the opinions, but I know they will still touch you in some small way. So, though my opinion may mean very little or nothing at all, I am unendingly proud of you. I will miss seeing your face on this channel, but am so happy you have finally found your own voice. Let it never be bottled up or boxed away again.
Even the most gifted person in the world will not be capable of showing their gifts if they're not given the opportunity, live in the wrong lifestyle, or just never realize/learn that they are 'special'.
A lot of intellectually gifted people develop social issues that keep them from advancing in life. They do well in rigid systems like maths and sciences - better than they should, actually. But this kind of recognition for patterns and rules begins to struggle once it doesn't translate into social interactions. So yes, the father does look gifted.
I need to know you know concentration camps lasted longer than 6 years. They started in 1933. They existed before the war. And lasted longer than the war. Please tell me you know some people had to “work off” their sentences in the camps even after the war.
@@BeverageGremlin I came here to comment the same thing! You beat me to the punch. But no this person who commented really does think that concentration camps were only a war thing. Ignorance is common these days.
Steve "Of course she's gifted, Tony's been giving her private lessons alongside Morgan for the past few years. Heck, last week she got started on her science fair project of an arc reactor powered tamagotchi."
This teacher tried to help which resulted in this man who was her uncle to lose his niece to his mom who wanted to make her whole life an academic hell. But he wanted to give his niece a normal life which is what his dying sister wanted for her daughter. This movie was so amazing. Can bring you to tears.
I was reminded of this one scene of Hyouka. It pretty much goes like this, imagine two students who belongs in the track team. One trains everyday as hard as he can. The other, doesn't train as much but is still setting records. On the day of competition, the hardworker lost to the talented. But when the talented was asked how he thinks he won, his response was "I was just lucky". The point pretty much is that most gifted people doesn't really realize they're gifted.
