Connect the components as shown in the schematics below. We will replace the 16×2 LCD display in the schematics from the previous tutorial with the 1.8″colored TFT display. The following components are required to build this project Īs usual, the exact components used for this tutorial can be bought through the link attached to each of them.
#Gifted child syndrome upgrade
The main upgrade to the previous tutorial mentioned above is the use of the 1.8″ colored TFT display and details about the features and use of this display have been covered in a recent tutorial here. Asides from its ability to accurately keep time, this module also comes with an accurate temperature sensor which will be used to obtain temperature readings during this tutorial. The DS3231 is a low power RTC chip, it has the ability to keep time with incredible accuracy such that even after power has been disconnected from your project, it can still run for years on a connected coin cell battery. This tutorial is based on the ability and features of the DS3231 RTC module. This feature could be useful in scenarios where there is a need to measure the maximum and minimum temperature experienced in a place over a particular time range. Today, we will build an upgrade to that project by replacing the 16×2 LCD display with an ST7735 based 1.8″ colored TFT display.Īpart from changing the display, we will also upgrade the features of the project by displaying the highest and lowest temperature that has been measured over time. Explore opportunities like science clubs and writing workshops where your child might meet bright peers.Hi guys, in one of our previous tutorials, we built a real-time clock with temperature monitor using the DS3231 and the 16×2 LCD display shield. Ask your child's teacher for help in identifying other gifted kids in your child's school (not only in her classroom). Tip: Help your child by arranging play dates with children with similar interests and level of intellect. Social difficulties can increase with age. It's important to help kids with the greatest social/emotional difficulties as early as possible, with the help of a school counselor or an outside therapist. The most highly gifted children tend to have the most difficulty with friendships. Or, she might make friends easily but later be perceived as a "show-off" or have different expectations for the friendship than her peers because of her intellectual depth and emotional sensitivity. Your child may feel that she has little in common with her classmates or may have trouble initiating play or joining groups. Gifted children may appear to be socially mature and well adjusted, but might feel lonely or sad about problems with peers. One of the potentially most difficult aspects of giftedness is having trouble making or keeping friends. In other words, help your child "know when to quit" and enjoy the process of learning from a project rather than stressing about getting everything perfect. For example, review the assignment with her, get a sense of how long and detailed the project should be (how many pages, how many references cited, etc.), make an outline or rough draft, and establish about how much time she should invest based on the assignment's impact on her grades. Tip: For a younger child, avoid correcting every little grammar or factual mistake she makes, and remind her to go easy on herself when her perfectionism comes through.įor an older child, help her establish some basic goals and guidelines for a successful school project or report before she dives in. Perfectionism is associated with abdominal pain, eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Aiming to get everything perfect is time-consuming, tiring, and even bad for one's health. Also, your child may be extremely gifted in some subjects but an average-achiever in others, which can also fuel her perfectionism all around. Your child may procrastinate on starting homework or school projects or spend a lot of extra time on them because of her desire to get everything just right. Gifted children are often driven to be high-achievers in all areas of their life.
