Is My Child Gifted or Just Bored at School?

ree

Many parents wonder if their child’s restlessness in school is a sign of boredom or a marker of giftedness. At Wonder Learning Center, we understand how to tell the difference—and how to support both.


Signs Your Child May Be Gifted

  • Displays deep curiosity and advanced thinking

  • Asks complex, abstract questions

  • Shows intense focus on topics they love

  • Exhibits emotional sensitivity and creativity

  • Feels frustrated or bored with repetitive, unchallenging work


When Boredom Is a Sign of a Mismatch

Sometimes, gifted children appear bored because traditional classrooms don’t provide the right pace or challenge. At Wonder, we create flexible learning environments that meet gifted learners where they are, offering enrichment and acceleration when needed.


How Wonder Supports Gifted and Twice-Exceptional Learners

Our interdisciplinary, learner-driven model encourages exploration and creativity, while providing social-emotional support tailored to each child’s strengths and challenges.
