Parents of gifted children know what it?s like to be talked into a corner. (?He?s only six, but somehow he convinced me to let him stay up until midnight on the weekends. He argued his case so well that I just gave in!?) The logical thinker may:
- enjoy counting, weighing, measuring, and categorizing objects
- love maps, globes, charts, calendars, and clocks
- enjoy challenging puzzles
- understand money
- prefer his environment to be organized and orderly (?a place for everything, and everything in its place?)
- give logical, reasonable explanations for events and occurrences
- come up with powerful, persuasive arguments for almost anything
- want things to be fair, and complain loudly when they aren?t
- want things to make sense
- understand cause-and-effect relationships
- want to know reasons for rules
ways to help your logical child
1. Give your child positive ways to use his logical thinking skills. Put him in charge of projects around your home. Let him organize the CDs, videos, or canned goods. Ask him to help plan meals and family events.
2. Are you planning a family road trip? Give your child the maps and ask for his input.
3. When you and your child disagree, take time to hear him out and consider his point of view. Being the parent doesn?t make you right 100 percent of the time. Keep an open mind. BUT?
4. Stand your ground when you know you?re right, even if your child ?out-logics? you.
5. When you must discipline your child, make sure the punishment fits the crime. He won?t accept or learn from anything but (you guessed it) logical consequences.
