Gifted Children: When the Brain Is a Ferrari, but the Gears Don’t Always Shift Smoothly
.Oplæg om højvegavelse, dobbeltekseptionelle og asynkron udvikling
About the talk
How can a child solve complex maths problems yet struggle to get started on just three lines of written work? Or have an impressive vocabulary while finding friendships, flexibility and the small demands of everyday life surprisingly difficult?
Being highly gifted doesn't necessarily mean developing at the same pace in every area. Fo *twice-exceptional children (2e), giftedness alongside ADHD, autism, anxiety or learning difficulties can make their strengths and challenges harder to recognise and understand.
We explore asynchronous development, executive functioning, underachievement and motivation, focusing on how to recognise your child's full potential without overestimating their ability to manage everyday tasks independently.
Because a fast mind doesn't always mean an easy everyday life.
