When a consultation can help
When you need more than general advice.
Your child may learn quickly, ask complex questions or show remarkable ability—and still struggle with motivation, mistakes, friendships or everyday expectations.
Perhaps school sees a child who is doing well, while you see frustration or unhappiness at home. Perhaps you are unsure whether they need more challenge, more support or a different approach.
When advice for other children does not seem to fit, it can help to explore the situation with someone who understands giftedness. A consultation gives you time to connect what you are noticing, consider possible explanations and identify practical next steps.
You do not need to wait for a crisis or have a formal identification of giftedness to bring your questions.

Gifted Education Specialist · ECHA Specialist · Founder of Beyond IQ
I have spent years working with gifted and high-potential children, their parents and the schools trying to support them.
And one thing comes up again and again: giftedness can be difficult to understand when it does not look the way we expect it to.
A child can be highly capable and still struggle. They can need challenge and reassurance. They can be confident in one area and completely avoidant in another.
My work is about making the research practical, so parents and teachers can stop asking, “Why are they doing this?” and start seeing what the child might actually need.
I founded Beyond IQ to help schools and families move from recognising giftedness to knowing how to respond to it.

Lihi is one of a kind. Patient, actively listening, and really knows how to get to children. She's warm, kind, and professional at the same time. I feel like every gifted child can benefit from her guidance, and I recommend her with whole my heart.
We were confused with no direction on how to assist our gifted son's personal development, even thinking to hold him back although he has expressed his boredom at school very often for more than a year because we were lack of confidence to help him out.
While after having Lihi professional and inspiring advices, we realised that we had many blind spots and misunderstandings on raising a gifted child, with Lihi guidance, we have decided to be a supportive parent and will do our best to help our son to reach his destiny. Thank you Lihi!
