Social-Emotional - Gifted and Advanced Learners Explore this page for resources and links to support the social-emotional needs of gifted and advanced learners. |
| Gifted and advanced learners have unique psychological needs, and parents and educators can do much to provide appropriate support for gifted and advanced learners so that they thrive academically and social-emotionally. Helping children to develop resilience, set goals, develop a growth mindset, and respond positively to criticism are some ways that parents and educators can provide support. Parent and educators can also help them learn coping skills to manage anxiety and stress, and perfectionism, and to develop self-acceptance and confidence. In this regard, we hope that the resources on this page will be helpful to parents and educators. |
