From ingeniosus:
How does knowing about one�s giftedness � and being supported from an early age � impact a person�s life and their movement through Dabrowski�s 5 levels? With so many myths, paradoxes and debate around the �gifted� label, I believe knowing about one�s giftedness at an early age � and being educated on social-emotional issues in particular � can have a significant positive impact on a life. I�m not likely to pursue a Ph.D., so I hope someone runs with this! I see my own daughters growing up with books like,
�101 Success Secrets for Gifted Kids� by Christine Fonseca
and having lively, critical discussions in their peer groups. I know teens are benefitting from Author Lisa Rivero�s
�The Smart Teen�s Guide to Living with Intensity: How to Get More Out of Life and Learning�
and the empowering work of gifted authors and specialists throughout the world. I would love to have someone do empirical research on how gifted learners receiving full-fledged affective support in this new generation will forever be altered, as they view themselves more kindly, know themselves better, and travel through their lives with knowledge about their own hardwiring.
