Ep#11 Creating an Eco-System for Children

Creating an Eco System for Gifted children is like creating a lifeline for them. In the book ‘Brain Child’ by Tony Buzan this wonderful example of the importance of creating an ecosystem and how it is essential for the success of every individual…Tony has compared children to F1 cars. And especially when we are talking about children with higher ability, their brains can run at very high speeds leaving the other regular cars behind.

F1 cars can run so fast because they have a good TEAM - of technicians, engineers, scientists, metal health coaches and sponsors to support them and tune their engines - and most importantly to avoid accidents.

As a society, as parents and teachers to gifted children, it is our responsibility to create this ecosystem to guide them along the path. but the question remains how to create one?
