The Gifted Ones

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning
(STEVIE SMITH)
It is estimated that there are about 200.000 gifted children of school age in this country. Many are undetected, others are resented, bored in class and sometimes delinquent.
What can be done to help these children develop their special talents? How do parents and teachers cope with the problems that often accompany giftedness?
Sue MacGregor reports Producer MICHAEL GREEN (from Manchester)
