That doesn't make them "weird". It makes them special. This characteristic can be turned into a part of their identity. A part of who they are, an enhancement. murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2706987177 2023-09-16 18:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2706987177 Often gifted students may be characterized as being socially immature. However, that is not the case. Gifted students are socially advanced compared to their chronologically aged peers. In the school setting, gifted students are placed with their chronological aged peers. This leads to gifted students not being able to have much in common with them at times. murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707000011 2023-09-16 19:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707000011 murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707000229 2023-09-16 19:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707000229 Gifted students tend to have a mental age higher then a chronological age. Grouping them with students according to their mental age could foster better peer relationships. Cluster grouping is an example of grouping students according to their mental age. Students work together with other students according to similar interests and abilities. murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707002351 2023-09-16 19:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707002351 Gifted students can be perfectionists. They have a fear of failure. These students want to make sure they do things the right way or perfectly and because of this, they do not ever take chances or risks for fear that it won't be absolutely perfect. They do not try new things and quit at things if something becomes difficult. murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707004140 2023-09-16 19:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707004140 murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707005512 2023-09-16 19:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707005512 We can help gifted students with perfectionist tendencies by showing them that you make mistakes yourself. You can explain and demonstrate you making mistakes and modeling how to handle it. Also, you can role play scenarios on what to do if you make a mistake or come across a challenge, or even fail at something. It is important to teach all kids that we learn from our failures. Teaching students you don't have to be perfect at things is an important lesson for mental health and stability. murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707012865 2023-09-16 19:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707012865 Every child deserves to have support from their family members. Sometimes gifted students do not receive support from their parents. There are times when parents of gifted students feel unconnected to their child. They are not sure how their child fits into their family. These child often feel estranged from their own family. The entire family unit is affected. murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707031782 2023-09-16 20:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707031782 murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707032311 2023-09-16 20:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707032311 Parents need the support so then in return can support their child. Counseling, for parents or the entire family would be beneficial to provide support. All members of a family must feel important, valued and supported. murphyca13 https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707034583 2023-09-16 20:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/murphyca13/269dio4pitq18d0/wish/2707034583
