Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums THINKING BIG About Gifted Education Meeting emotional needs of gifted students

Please let me know if this topic would be better in another forum.
My children are in our school district's Highly Capable program. I'm in the process of becoming the PTA president of the program and I would like to see more emphasis placed on the emotional needs of our gifted children. Between the lack of instructional time and the lack of funds, this isn't an easy task. I was wondering how other schools handled this. I'm thinking mostly peer relations and dealing with perfectionism.

Thank you!
