social-emotional needs of gifted children

Gifted children often have unique social-emotional needs because their advanced abilities can lead to feelings of isolation, perfectionism, or high sensitivity. They may struggle with peer relationships or feel misunderstood, requiring support to develop social skills and emotional resilience. Their intense curiosity and high standards can also cause frustration or anxiety. Addressing these needs involves providing a supportive environment that fosters emotional well-being, encourages healthy peer connections, and helps them manage their strong feelings and perfectionist tendencies. Recognizing and supporting their social-emotional development is essential for their overall growth and happiness.
