**Gifted label is not the worst thing in the world. Kids are resilient. **

The gifted label, often seen as harmful, need not be a source of distress for children. Anecdotal evidence shows that kids can perceive and manage these labels differently than adults assume. They demonstrate resilience, and even humor in the face of perceived adversity, suggesting that the emphasis on sensitivity may be overblown.

Children recognize talent within their peers without needing formal labels, emphasizing the importance of focusing on providing opportunities rather than classifications.
