Being gifted has long been equated to being intelligent and having a high IQ. However, many scholars believe that students can also be gifted in the sense of having increased emotional or social intelligence. Being gifted can be a double-edged sword: smart students can get bored and frustrated if their classmates and teachers fail to engage with their special abilities. This video shows examples of gifted children and their life. |

Right Brain Education is a learning program designed to help your child (or you!) utilize and boost both sides of the brain -- the logical left brain and the creative right brain. Right Brain Education is both for early childhood learning and adult enhancement and enrichment.
