These children need to be identified in order to provide challenging education that they so desperately need. When not feeling challenged, these children report being bored, which results in feelings of exhaustion and stress. Gifted and talented children are very sensitive to their surroundings, and are often bullied by jealous students. A school that provides advanced methodologies, understanding counsellors, and educated teachers can help to reduce these problems, motivating the gifted and talented students to excel above and beyond their potential.  \nUnderstanding how gifted and talented students function and learn is critical to their success. Gifted and talented students share many characteristics and have a strong desire tobe challenged. Counsellors must be very perceptive of who the gifted children are in their schools and be able to assess their needs. When teachers understand how the gifted students function and learn, they are better able to provide differentiated curriculum in order to achieve student success. School personnel need to be aware of their gifted population’s unique needs and develop programs to keep these students challenged.  \nQualities of a Gifted Child  \nGifted children share the same characteristics as average children, but have a stronger need to achieve and fit into social situations. These children have very high expectations and want to be the best in everything, which often clouds their vision of reality and makes them highly sensitive to criticism and feelings of exhaustion (Rakow, 2005) . They are more aware of their environment and are able to sense and feel more than the average person, causing them to feel anxious (Peterson, 2007) . Many high achievers find that being popular and smart is difficult, because they are faced with bullying and resentment from jealous peers (Francis, 2009; Wood, 2010) . For example, Ashley (a pseudonym), who attends a high school in Manitoba, is constantly being harassed because she is smart, athletic, musical, attractive, and gets along with the boys. Like other high achievers, she deals with jealous girls trying to “put her down”every day, in an attempt to bring her down to their level.  \nGifted children need to excel in everything, which makes all new situations very stressful. They try to fit in with all peer groups in an attempt to figure out exactly where they belong (Rakow, 2005) . Ashley has never been able to get close to anyone and finds that she is always moving from group to group. Children of this nature have to learn to accept themselves and deal with both the challenges and failures that they face, while promoting growth within themselves (Rakow, 2005) . Gifted children have many needs and a vast range of abilities that require attention (Gavin et al. , 2007) . Some studies have found that gifted children will deal with their stress through suicide, eating disorders, substance abuse, and dropping out of high school (Peterson, 2007) .  \nIn school, talented students are easily bored and show signs of depression when they are not able to advance in their studies (Rogers, 2007) . Problem solving is an important part of learning for gifted children: they require advanced curriculum and need to be challenged constantly (Gavin et al. , 2007; Graffam, 2006) . They are self-motivated and prefer to work  \nindependently, as opposed to regular learners (Rogers, 2007) . Ashley chooses not to work in groups anymore, so she can avoid dealing with the lack of effort produced by others. However, acceptance from peers often outweighs the academic need to succeed (Francis, 2009) . Many gifted children appear to function and fit in the same as other children do; however, they are often either overwhelmed or disengaged and feel stressed abou","cbCairDPw3FqQPHw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairDPw3FqQPHw","pdf",233012,"English","# Abstract\n## Qualities of a Gifted Child\n## Role of the Counsellor\n## Role of the Teacher","[{\"question\":\"Why is identifying gifted and talented students important?\",\"answer\":\"It enables counselors and teachers to provide challenging education aligned with students’ needs.
