Gli underachiever.
Parliamo di benessere dei gifted.
Ieri ho avuto modo di scambiare due chiacchiere virtuali (vista la distanza) con Chris Wells, la fondatrice, presidente e CEO del Dabrowski Center – https://dabrowskicenter.org/.
Â
Ha una storia personale di consapevolezza della sua giftedness molto eloquente e significativa che condividerò presto con voi.
Â
Nel frattempo, vi lascio questo suo pensiero tratto da uno dei suoi podcast:
Â
“Calling a gifted student with high IQ and low motivation an “underachiever” is a loathsome term. I have been called this and quite frankly – just because I am gifted doesn’t mean I owe anyone anything related to my gifts and giftedness. 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.”
