Some parents, however, may end up pushing their child too hard and not realize it before it’s too late. If you’re one such parent and you’re pushing your gifted child too hard, he or she could feel pressured, which could then lead to emotional issues that will become a much bigger problem later on.

In her blog Reality Check, child expert Dr. Michelle Borba tells of ways to avoid pushing your gifted child too hard.

Imagination and play comprise a child’s magic world

An interesting article from kidshealth.org caught my attention. It talks about play with imagination and how it inspires and aids in a child’s development.

The following explains why imagination is important and what we can do to nourish it in our children.

Often, some of the more mediocre ones come out in the garb of smart language or we simply assume an advice to be healthy because it is made by an elder person.
