Gifted children are defined as those with an IQ over 130 or exceptional abilities in specific areas like math or music. They tend to be intellectually advanced with quick learning, strong problem solving skills, and vivid imaginations. Disadvantaged children face challenges like disabilities, low IQs, poor family environments, or lack of access to resources. They often have slower learning and develop pessimistic attitudes. Educators should provide individualized education tailored to children's needs and interests, as well as improving home and school conditions, to help both gifted and disadvantaged students reach their full potential.
