Grow into Your Full Potential
Childhood
Asynchronous development is common in gifted children. Giftedness can go hand in hand with uneven skill development and heightened sensitivity. This can be challenging for families, and teachers don't always know how to support a child's needs best. Children become frustrated and need extra support to flourish.
Youth
Transitioning from adolescence to young adulthood is difficult for everyone, but gifted youth face unique challenges. They may be at higher risk for social-emotional difficulties. Academics, sports, peers, dating, critical tests, college applications, adjusting to living on campus, first job... life becomes overwhelming. Youth can benefit from guidance maneuvering into adulthood. It is easy to get off course during this critical time. Ensure they have the support and skills they need to pursue their goals.
Adulthood
Adulting is complex, and the challenges of being a gifted adult aren't always recognized. Work, family, social... finding life balance is exhausting, and responsibility can be overwhelming. Learning to balance, regulate, and rejuvenate is essential. Self-growth and support may be the path you need.
