Parents, teachers, and counselors often find that their best-laid plans for the gifted go astray because of the intensity and sensitivity of these kids. Think about the intensity you've seen in gifted individuals of all ages: intellectual, imaginational, emotional, psychomotor, and sensual. Challenges abound for them and for everyone concerned with them and their well-being.
And yet, the intensity and sensitivity of gifted youngsters can allow all kinds of stimulating and intriguing opportunities for them to develop, both at home and in school. This webinar will provide information and insights to help you better understand and help the gifted. It is designed to shed light on how "overexcitabilities" (OEs) as described by Dabrowski's theory, relate to helping gifted kids.
In this session, Dr. Fiedler will explore gifted youngsters' intensity and sensitivity in school and at home and will then focus on practical strategies that parents, teachers, and counselors can use to respond to the OEs and other social and emotional needs of gifted students.
