Today we start our Parents Guide to Gifted Kids’ First Years of School Series with Emily. Emily is a mum navigating those big questions with her gifted child who has just started reception (prep). 

This two-part episode covers when our gifted kids should start school, where they should go to school, what expectations we should have and much more… 

Memorable quote… 

“The big question that I had [for the educational psychologist] was, do you think he should be going to school next year? Do you think he's ready for school next year? 

And she actually flipped that question on me and said, ‘it's not about when it's about where. Now that you know that he's gifted, you now need to make a really considered decision about where you send him to school’. 

And I thought that this day, this assessment was going to almost close the chapter and be like, okay, you've got your answer now get on with your life.

But it was just the beginning of everything.” - Emily
