Abstract

Gifted children are special children and there is also a need to pay more attention to such children, children with an above-average IQ. Until now, most of the work has been done with the so-called an average student, to whom the teaching was almost entirely adapted, while gifted children were neglected in the teaching process. It is certainly time for changes to take place in this area as well. It is necessary to create new learning programs for gifted children, to include them in various new types of learning such as innovative teaching and individual work programs, and to monitor their development. The teaching process for gifted children should be a challenge and a place where they can further develop their abilities and improve their knowledge. At the school level, it would be necessary to form teams that would work on providing help and support to these children, as well as their further promotion and advancement. They could also attend various camps for gifted children, where they would socialize with peers from similar fields, but also from different ones, in order to learn something new. We know that very often, even at the beginning, they show special interests and preferences for certain subjects and areas of their learning and development. A large number of children are talented and gifted, but unfortunately this is discovered very late, or not discovered at all. In order for everything to go well, it is also necessary to cooperate with the parents of such children, and to include them in special teams, but also to promote them in the local community and beyond. Gifted children are exceptional in many spheres and areas, and accordingly we must prepare them for lifelong learning
