The author writes about the often emotional torment of the gifted child, and the need for training and coaching these children as would be done for a child with athletic talent.

From the Paper:

"Gifted and talented, in the past as well as the present, are the ones who have received the least attention as far as education is concerned. The teachers and ones who are responsible for preparing the education system take it for granted that children with exceptional gifts will just develop academically on their own. A gifted child or adult, whether creative, athletic or intelligent, sometimes intimidate authorities who are to educate or supervise them as well as people on their own level which is one of the reasons their resources are the most overlooked, and they lack the skills and knowledge in order for them to achieve their full potential.
