This session will include an overview of the social and emotional development of gifted children, emphasizing what has been learned from research. There are many myths that do not reflect the true realities of gifted children, and this presentation will focus on the special needs associated with growing up gifted.  Gifted children generally develop in an asynchronous or uneven pattern, with, for example, intellectual development typically outpacing emotional growth.  This asynchrony and other characteristics, such as overexcitabilities and perfectionism, can lead to difficulties in a gifted individual’s adjustment.  Dr. Amend will review the social and emotional aspects of growing up gifted and provide practical advice for parents and educators.
