Abstract
This article will examine the potential connection between giftedness and suicidal attempts or death thoughts among children. At the first stage I will present the findings from the research literature about concepts of death and suicide in gifted and
non-gifted children. Afterwards, I will summarize the literature about suicide among gifted children. Finally, a list of characteristics of giftedness that might be risk factors and require the attention of parents and therapists of young gifted children will be presented.
