Gifted children are those who are born with natural abilities well above the average of children of the same age. These abilities can be scientific, mathematical, artistic, and humanistic, but whatever the area where they excel, they develop mentally very quickly from a very young age. They understand cause-and-effect relations, they love to learn and ask very profound questions, as they have an early understanding of the world and a spiritual awareness. Gifted children are unique beings, who not only think differently but also feel differently: they are very empathetic, sensitive, particularly vulnerable, often considered too intense, idealistic, too perfectionist, too much everything!  As Lieba Joran, they are caring children and have a passion for justice, becoming defenders of the weakest on many occasions. My name is Alessandra Ripepi, and my goal for the future is to become a psychologist and work with children.  Since I was little I was an introverted, artistic, and analytic girl. I was very selective with my classmates at school, I had an affinity with only a few of them since I frequently felt strange, and different from the others.      My grandfather always told the family about the time we went to a Van Gogh museum and, when I was 5 years old, I asked him to give me the museum's explanatory headphones. I walked alone throughout the museum, listening to the explanations of each painting and sculpture that was there. I loved admiring what I saw and that's why I began to imitate objects, faces, and places, painting them exactly as they were. My parents saw my artistic ability and enrolled me in a painting course, for which I will always be grateful. Art is a practice of self-expression that has filled me throughout my life, it has been a space where I can flow with my emotions, I allow myself to quiet my turbulent mind and be in a state of tranquility where I can be free.  I don't know if I'm a gifted child, but I understand the sensitivity and vulnerability that gifted children possess, which makes them unique.  I’m studying to get my Bachelor’s degree in psychology and human behavior, especially children’s, and from what I found out about gifted ones, I can say that they are fascinating. The majority of these special children are in classrooms with people of their age who have slower cognitive abilities, which leads them to get extremely bored at school, and due to lack of stimulation and support, they often get frustrated and do not finish developing their inner potential. The asynchronous development between chronological age and mental age is evident among their peers, often making them feel different from others. Without the understanding and support of the parents and teachers, gifted kids experience increased anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I am attracted to working in an environment that stimulates the gifted children’s mental processes and challenges them to seek more wisdom, and other ways of solving problems, such as in scientific subjects. Make them do experiments in physics, chemistry, biology, and interactive art activities, creating a space where they can let their creativity flow, along with their emotions and thoughts. I think it is very important to praise the child's effort more than their ability, and teach him not to fear failure, but to learn from it.  While gifted children are supported academically, I believe that educators and parents must always maintain the goal of making them feel accepted and understood, avoiding labels that differentiate them, preventing them from feeling and being isolated by their peers, but rather being valued for their uniqueness within society.
