Hi, I found their sincerity and authenticity absolutely captivating. Some gave me a hug, or kissed me or would just hold my hand to take me to their parents. They had no pretence whatsoever and acted from a genuine authenticity – perhaps something that all of us can learn from these special children. During the band performance, all the children went up on stage and danced from their heart and not with the intention of competing. They simply had a lot of respect for each other - maybe another quality that we can learn from these special children. I also learnt something profound from these lovely children - they did not see anyone as being different. To them everyone is just a human being - regardless of race or gender or religion etc, just a human being. At the end of the event, all the special children were given a trophy. They hold it up high on the stage and wanted to show the world that they were the champion (ironically, they are so many people in this world think they are born loser!). Now I understand why they are called "Special".... p/s: BTW, I gave out a f'ree course called WAHM-IT!, The Masters Course in the last issue. Just in case, you did not get it, here is the download link.

His teacher says that he is always daydreaming in class and is not able to go to 3rd grade because he can not focus on different activities. Should I keep him back in 2nd grade in order for him to develop his focus? A: It is quite obvious that your son is bored, hence the daydreaming. It may be possible that the lessons at school are not challenging enough for him. Gifted children need to find their work meaningful to be able to enjoy learning ...
