Giftedness happens 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year. These characteristics
become magnified through the lifespan and pronounced during adolescence.
Thus, we must attend to the cognitive and affective needs of the gifted throughout the day,
both at school and at home

Understanding Giftedness as a Measure of Potential
It is important to remember that there is a real difference between giftedness and high achievement, although the two may overlap in ideal circumstances. Giftedness is about potential, and things come quite organically.
Conversely, high achievers achieve highly because they have the organizational and metacognitive skills—those sound habits of practice that serve as a roadmap to an ultimate destination.
This is a rationale for cultivating executive functioning skills: not solely to forge a path, but to help still turbulent cognitive waters.

Being gifted is a gift—unless you are the one experiencing it first hand (both blessing and burden)
Gifted have a tendency to look outwardly for approval and inwardly for blame
May experience unique pressures to ‘perform’ as if the spotlight is always on—even when alone
Solutions must be epiphany-based to mitigate perceived threat against the social personality and related pushback
The greatest challenges for educators and parents alike are socioemotional
Gifted tend to be great starters, but at times lack discipline for follow through (beginnings are always fun!)
Things come naturally—without having to work hard.

One of the most important duties parents of the gifted have is to offer their children a quality of life with a lesser degree of anxiety and intensity.
