Abstract

The care for the talented children is in fact a man's care for himself. The people who are talented and ingenious are exaclly those who leave the most to the history and the society alike. Thus, it is imperative that a fuli attention is devoted to tecse children as early as at their childhood periods to ensure that a child exhibits his gift. This would also ensure the full expression of his/her creativity in the ongoing activities. All of the subsequent constructive talent is depending on the results achieved in the kindergarten as well as during the first days of school. The issues whether a child will develop its talents, whether it will achieve top results in certain fields of human life, shall largely depend on the whole set of condtlions: type of the influence the child is subjected to, the circumstances the child is living in, in other words, the circumstance in which he/ she is developing and growing. However, an individual happiness and prosperity of the society is not achievable without an organized care for the talented children first. The paper aims at motivating both, the care of the society as well as the pecdagogical care, for the talented children. This work illustrates the need for educating the teachers to work with the talented children and the forms of their education. It also illustrates the need for the recognition of the talented children, the recognition of the structure of the talent phenomenon and the need to find the aclequate forms, ways and principles of work with those children as well as the need to work with their parents. lt also underlines the need for research and setting up of the database containing information on the relevant issues.
