Through the current discussion of an aspect of the topic of giftedness in children, we aim to highlight its characteristics, both positive and negative, on the one hand, and to emphasize the necessity of early care for it on the other hand. The child surpassing a certain level in a specific trait positively is beneficial for both the child and their surroundings, as it grants them the quality of distinction. This is the case for the gifted child. However, while giftedness makes the child unique, it may also bring challenges, as the gifted child needs someone who can effectively interact with them and nurture their talent. The environment of a gifted child can hinder their talent instead of developing it if the necessary conditions are not provided. This may lead to significant problems in their ability to adapt.
