This early development means that these exceptionally advanced children acquire and process information very quickly, affecting their cognitive and social development. Many suffer from social isolation due to the lack of a suitable peer group with whom to relate and feel an overwhelming pressure to conform.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;29586&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1598261943796{padding-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Exceptionally Gifted Advice Sheet<\/h2>\n<p>Many exceptionally and profoundly gifted children seriously underachieve in education and often lose motivation to excel at some time in primary school.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the education of exceptionally and profoundly gifted children, please see our advice sheet\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/index.php\/product\/pa319-education-and-exceptionally-able-children\/\">PA319 Education and Exceptionally Able Children<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Exceptionally and Profoundly Gifted Children&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|font_size:36|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1598704211041{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;29569&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Some children are very significantly advanced in their   [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29569,"parent":1606,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-29083","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Exceptionally and Profoundly Gifted Children - Potential Plus UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Exceptionally and profoundly gifted children have cognitive abilities in the top 0.03%-0.1% of the population.
