24.01.2022 AUS: How to Tell if You've got a Gifted and Talented Child, and What to do about It #gtchat #edchat #AussieED #vicpln "Gifted and talented children make up 10 ...per cent of the student population but undergraduate teachers can spend as little as 45 minutes over four years learning about their needs. Researchers cite the lack of teacher training as a big reason why many Australian schools are failing gifted and talented students. There are also some educators who believe smart children have won the genetic lottery and will do well regardless. But experts warn that's not the case, and say the consequences for chronically underchallenged children who can spend up to three hours every day waiting for their peers to catch up can be devastating and last a lifetime."

21.01.2022 Kindness is one of the most important character traits, but sometimes kids need an extra reminder about the best ways to be kind to others or why kindness matters. These books provide that reminder in creative and appealing ways.

21.01.2022 From my friend Jim Delisle

20.01.2022 I always loved Little Critter when I was a kid, but I don't really love them as a parent. I had to make this correction, for the sake of building healthy emotio...nal intelligence in my son. As we read this he often says, "it's ok to cry when you feel sad, Little Critter!" What are you doing to create a home that honors and accepts all emotions? If you have questions or need help teaching emotional intelligence, parent counseling and coaching can really bridge the distance between knowledge and practice and provide your family with support as you gain mastery. I have 3 EQ classes scheduled for later this year and offer private support through in-person and virtual sessions. Let me empower you with *concrete* tools to enhance your skills and relationships!

14.01.2022 PLEASE SHARE: A gifted individual in crisis may exhibit symptoms that seem to fit certain psychiatric syndromes Unfortunately, even in crises, fear of being ...mis-understood, mis-diagnosed and overmedicated prevent many gifted individuals from seeking psychiatric consultation or taking advantage of the judicious use of psychotropic medication. Gifted Research and Outreach (GRO) is greatly honored to be able to introduce this seminal article written by Dr. Jerald Grobman, MD. Dr. Grobman has been named a Distinguished Fellow by the American Psychiatric Association and is a prominent private practice psychiatrist who specializes in the assessment and psychotherapy of gifted adolescents and adults. In this article Dr. Grobman utilizes his 40+ years’ experience working with the gifted population to provide a thoughtful and well-balanced analysis about how giftedness impacts an individual, how to utilize this knowledge to distinguish a gifted individual in crisis from one who has developed a psychiatric syndrome or pathologic personality disorder and how to develop a comprehensive treatment plan with specific, judicious and short-term use of psychotropic medication. The down side risk of developing a chronic crisis when employing self-styled treatments is also described. https://www.gro-gifted.org/when-gifted-individuals-need-me/

01.01.2022 ‘When I was done mentally replaying all the events of my life, I thought about the little girl I once was and how her life might have been different if she an...d her teachers had understood giftedness. And then I cried. I cried for that little girl who might have made different choices in life had she realized she wasn’t a defective misfit’. http://giftsforlearning.com//understanding-the-gifted-sel/ See more
