It’s a fortunate predicament, really. But how do you make sure your child is still advancing?  A+ Tutoring has complete math diagnostic assessments available for [Free Download](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/blog/is-my-child-at-grade-level) so you can see how your child is progressing with Mathematics. ![modern kid with digital pad lying on sofa](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20images/modern%20kid%20with%20digital%20pad%20lying%20on%20sofa.jpeg?width=300&name=modern%20kid%20with%20digital%20pad%20lying%20on%20sofa.jpeg)Gifted students deserve the same year of growth as other students.  They need to be challenged beyond the grade level curriculum delivered in the classroom.  Ensuring this happens requires an active partnership between school and home.  Parents should be active in their student’s learning journey.  [![Free Learning Plan for your Child](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6312752/3f27315c-9f84-4c19-b535-965fd4c9ead8.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6312752/3f27315c-9f84-4c19-b535-965fd4c9ead8) ## **Gifted students can fall into:** - Boredom and apathy if they are not challenged.  - Kids learn in different ways and your child might just be a kinesthetic learner and learn best when doing things independently. - Look for ways to extend learning with authentic experiences connected to the curriculum.   - Brainstorm with your child about real-world connections to what they are learning. - Plan local field trips to historically significant locations. Consider entrepreneurial opportunities or spearheading fundraisers to put math lessons into practice. ![How do I help my gifted child stay ahead?](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Canva%20images/How%20do%20I%20help%20my%20gifted%20child%20stay%20ahead%3F.jpg?width=360&name=How%20do%20I%20help%20my%20gifted%20child%20stay%20ahead%3F.jpg) ## **Advanced students thrive with options ** - Communication with teachers is critical.   - If the measure of success is a high grade, teachers may not see that your child’s needs are not being met.  - For the gifted student who has quickly grasped the concept being taught, this is as stimulating as listening to a recording playing on loop.  ![How do I help my gifted child stay ahead? 2](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Canva%20images/How%20do%20I%20help%20my%20gifted%20child%20stay%20ahead%3F%202.jpg?width=360&name=How%20do%20I%20help%20my%20gifted%20child%20stay%20ahead%3F%202.jpg) ## **Be prepared ** - You may need to look beyond your child’s teachers to sustain forward momentum.  - Seek out mentors or [tutors](https://www.wetutorathome.com/programs-packages) to support your student as they explore advanced concepts ahead of the grade-level curriculum.  - Include opportunities to develop skills in music, art and drama.   ## **All growth requires nourishment.  ** - Physically, a scarcity of food will first trigger intense hunger. In time, if nutrition is not available the pangs of hunger will diminish, and lethargy sets in.  - Most gifted learners start off as enthusiastic students.   - A steady stream of rich educational experiences will ensure that your child continues to embrace the quest for knowledge and advance at a pace reflective of their potential.   ## Recommended For You [![Mother en kid](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/hs-fs/hubfs/alicja-mother-and-daughter-9145159_1920.jpg?width=375&height=250&name=alicja-mother-and-daughter-9145159_1920.jpg) ](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/title-i-title-iii-and-essa-section-1003-can-all-fund-the-same-student-heres-how) [a plus tutoring](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/tag/a-plus-tutoring) 4 Min Read ### [Title I, Title III, and ESSA Section 1003 can all fund the same student - here's how:](https://blog.wetutorathome.com/title-i-title-iii-and-essa-section-1003-can-all-fund-the-same-student-heres-how) $15.6B Title I annual federal spending for disadvantaged students NCES, FY 2022 $890M Title III annual ...
