I like the emotional response scale! I think this would be a huge help to teach students how to cope. I wonder if gifted teachers could help students create this then share with the child's classroom teacher. I think often classroom teachers don't know all of these things so it can be challenging for them to understand a gifted student. I've heard lots of teachers say things like, "They don't seem gifted" when talking about a gifted student because they don't understand their behavior or work ethic because a lot of teachers think gifted just means smart.

How closely aligned parenting expectations and language is to perfectionism is super interesting. This might be way so much around gentle-parenting is getting “praise” right. Much of the current research is around how you connect with resilience instead of “You’re so smart!”
Children can believe that if they make a mistake, they are no longer smart, which starts the imposter syndrome idea early.
Fascinating!
