Social and emotional needs of gifted children is a hot topic right now, and for good reason. Our gifted students are more than just little (or big!) brains. They require nurturing and development of both their hearts and their minds. So what do we do when that social/emotional development doesn’t keep pace with the cognitive development?
The ability to self-regulate gives students the power to reach new heights in their lives and academic careers. Teachers give an invaluable gift when they pass along the principles of self-regulation to their students.
