“Being different can lead to feelings of disappointment and a lack of connectedness with others; in other words, being thoughtfully gifted can be a very lonely experience.” — When Bright Kids Become Disillusioned | National Association for Gifted Children https://t.co/LTN8s9Uc8m

[NAGC @NAGCGIFTED]

"Even though they share many qualities, #gifted kids are uniquely different. It reinforces the idea that needs, interests, and abilities differ even in a homogeneous group." -Dr. Tracy Inman @WKU during Superkids2 film discussion

Listening to State of the States in gifted ed during #NAGC20. As frustrated as I get with obstacles in OH when trying to educate GT kids, I always have a moment during each @NAGCGIFTED conf where I realize GT kids in OH are a little better off than they might be in other states.

“ ... we’re in the midst of weirdness, & weird times bring up all sorts of unease in our anxious kiddos. It’s up to us — even while attempting to hold our own worry dragons at bay — to give our kiddos some peace, calm, & security in these times. But how?” https://t.co/3S0OlgCeWb

"When intensity and sensitivity are combined with idealism, as so often happens with bright children and adults, good things can happen because they can keenly see how things might be." Read 100 words of wisdom from our beloved founder, Dr. James T Webb: https://t.co/5GvwBOY2a5

@IanAByrd My top 3: Be flexible/ready to adapt to anything. Look for small opportunities to improve services for kids. Remember gifted kids often have gifted parents, and teachers in the field are often gifted themselves - remember that when experiencing passion and intensity from adults.

Finding your way as a gifted adult can be difficult. Even if you’re successful, you may feel like an imposter.
