DEVELOPING THE TALENT IN EVERY CHILD
GERC is a cutting-edge consultancy service that helps parents identify their child’s unique talents and unleash their full potential using research-based methods.
Parents believe that their children are gifted… and in a way, that is true. The issue is how being gifted is defined. When a society’s definition of giftedness doesn’t capture the children’s gifts and talents, parents and children are often left on the sidelines without resources to develop their potential. Sadly, when this happens many young children have to set aside their gifts and talents to pursue what society deems as important.
At GERC, we believe that talents are multi-faceted and children should not be forced into a mold that limits their development. The GERC Approach focuses on creating a holistic environment where the parents and educators come together to help children discover and build upon their gifts and talents.
The GERC Approach
Developing children’s talents is more than just sending them to countless enrichment classes and hoping that they turn out to be prodigies in one way or another. However, when young children discover that they have a talent in a particular area, do they have the mindset and attitudes they need to really excel?
The GERC Approach encourages parents to provide their children with varied experiences during their early years. But more importantly, we are dedicated to helping children develop essential skills such as perseverance, communication, and critical and creative thinking skills that will help them to grow further in their talent areas.
GERC Consultation Service
Every child is unique, and even siblings can differ greatly in personality and abilities. Techniques some other parents find effective in developing their children’s talents may not be suitable for your offspring.
