Bulletproofing Gifted Kids: Seven Strategies that Every Teacher, Counselor, and Parent Needs to Know
P. Susan Jackson, Daimon Institute for the Highly Gifted, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada
What are critical non-intellective factors that profoundly impact optimal development and success? Seven essential themes guide parents, counselors, and teachers in delivering powerful differentiated school and home support. The difference makers are: in-depth understanding of personality; learning style and over-excitability profiles; the critical role of diet, exercise and habits of mind; addressing asynchronous development; deep self-awareness and conditions that advance radical courage/resilience, authentic personality and talent development. Penetrating insights and hands-on strategies derived from two decades of research and practice using Dabrowskis’ Theory, the spirit of Positive Psychology, and Integral Practice for the gifted inform this interactive dynamic session.
