Abstract
The paper emphasises the importance of attending to a dimension of giftedness which involves the development of caring, concerned, compassionate, committed individuals who develop and use their giftedness for society's benefit as well as for self fulfilment. The writer argues for the importance of developing leadership motivated to bringing about world peace. Since gifted children have greater sensitivity in social, moral and ethical awareness, we must nurture these sensitivities through appropriate curricula, understanding of real-life problems, awareness of worldwide news, and direct communication with other gifted children around the world.
