Case Study 4
Question 1: Is Calvin gifted, creative, and talented? Provide a rationale for your answer?
Answer: Calvin is showing the attributes of a gifted child. The way he is attracting the attention of his father by pointing towards the notches and demanding the VCR is the proof of his giftedness. As Webb mentions in his book Guiding the Gifted Child, that gifted children’s become the source of attraction ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"l054Bfh7","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Webb, 1982)","plainCitation":"(Webb, 1982)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":157,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/845EPEF6"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/845EPEF6"],"itemData":{"id":157,"type":"book","title":"Guiding the gifted child: A practical source for parents and teachers.","publisher":"ERIC","source":"Google Scholar","title-short":"Guiding the gifted child","author":[{"family":"Webb","given":"James T."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1982"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Webb, 1982). Calvin is also demanding a personal space from his father when he mentions “I never get to do what I want”. The gifted children are often more inclined toward their inner self and they consider this their right to be anti-social. This personal time helps them in polishing their abilities. For them, everything which makes them calm comes first. Calvin is also pictured as demanding from his father to allow him to chew tobacco.
Question 2: If Calvin’s dad asked you how to handle Calvin’s “giftedness”, what recommendations would you make? Give a rationale for your answer?
Answer: I will suggest Calvin's dad be more open towards Calvin. The reason for being clear with Calvin is not to indulge him in interpretations. Such children as suggested by Webb, often tend to interpret things which they are not able to understand at first instance. If anyone is open toward them, it will help in understanding things more easily. Once they understand the purpose behind any phenomena, such children’s start to develop their own understandings about them. Being clear with such children help in saving their time. I will also suggest his father not to be psychologically interpretive with Calvin. For example, if one start to interpret their ideas, this can offend such children.
Question 3: If Calvin’s dad was enrolled in your parenting class and ask for your counsel as the group leader. What would you recommend?
Answer: As a group leader, I will suggest to his father some ideas about the upbringing of Calvin. As a group leader, I will also suggest to his father how to be confident about the abilities of Calvin. Since such children are creative and need some space for coming up with new ideas, therefore being the group leader, I will invite his father in some excursion exercises. I will design the exercises that will be aimed at "how to create an environment inside the home that offers a creative atmosphere for children”. Such tendencies of the children often remain hidden, as the environment in home is not conducive for creativity.
