Where can I find a friend? How asynchronous development affects relationships.
"Gifted children, teens and adults thrive when they understand the social, emotional and cultural impact of their giftedness, when they feel understood and accepted, when surrounded by like-minded peers, and when they are not criticized for any delays in their social-developmental trajectory. As parents, we must help them navigate the path to adulthood, seek out activities where they can develop healthy social relationships, and encourage them to accept, work with, and appreciate their unique differences."
This blog gives some insight into the challenges that asynchronous development (a discrepancy in skills or development among gifted children) can have on our students and children, along with some great strategies to support them.
