The complex nature of gifted children’s academic motivation and social mindfulness may lead to significant struggles within and outside of school.  Healthy individuals are those who can find balance in their personal, educational, and metaphysical lives. This session will highlight some of the confounding personal, academic and philosophical issues gifted learners encounter that may inhibit a fulfilling schooling and personal life. Learn ideas and strategies to increase self-regulation, a significant tool for academic and life success.  Participants will also be offered ways in which to moderate asynchronous social development that supports and nurtures healthy gifted children.
