  • Gifted children placed in traditional school settings, often do not have their educational, motivational, mental, and emotional development appropriately supported. Unidentified giftedness in young children can result in academic limitations due to unmodified educational standards to stimulate and support gifted children's needs. Consequences of unidentified giftedness can include boredom, anxiety, dislike of school, loss of motivation, and challenging behavior. This qualitative phenomenological study recruited parents of gifted children to identify consequences of delayed identification of giftedness using Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development as a lens to explore the beneficial effects of gifted students' early assessment and placement into classrooms with similarly like-minded gifted children, curriculum, and instruction. Findings supported the literature that children who were not identified as gifted and were not given appropriate support experienced anxiety and other behaviors that caused distress for them, their families, and their classroom environments. Families bear a financial burden, sometimes moving to different cities to find an appropriate educational setting and often bearing the costs of assessment to verify giftedness. Further, learning disabilities can co-exist with giftedness. Gifted children with such co-morbidities were less likely to receive appropriate support for their educational needs. Finally, children identified as gifted and taught in environments with similar peers were able to develop better social skills and became more willing to attend and succeed at school.
