This semester, students who are working on research projects with me will be posting weekly entries on this blog. The first of these (below) was by Jessica Reyka. I welcome, and highly encourage your comments. This is a blog, so opinions are welcome.
I think that another thing parents could do is make sure their gifted child is in extra curricular activities, clubs, library groups, or any social output in which their are other gifted children like themselves because this would give them a chance to see they are not alone, to practice their own sets of upper learning social skills, practice their “different dull” sense of humor, etc. This will help them to not feel left out, alone, or different.
