“Calling a gifted student with high IQ and low motivation an “underachiever” is a loathsome term.

Saying that is not popular among parents and educators, but I believe this whole-heartedly. When we talk about gifted student mental health – let’s focus on resilience regarding supporting relationships, not being able to define a student’s grit based on their ability to balance life and their performance.”
