From time to time, I come across articles and research that really dig deep into the complexities of the gifted mind. I found a couple today that I wanted to share with you all.

“Such is the situation of the introvert, a minority in the regular population but a majority in the gifted population.”

“Developing and maintaining friendships is an important aspect of any child’s development. However, for many gifted kids this can be a struggle. Using the term “true peers,” the first of the friendship articles discusses the struggle gifted kids may have in forming and maintaining friendships. For gifted children, true peers are probably not the same chronological age as gifted children; gifted children often seek friendships with older children.”
Have thoughts or insight of your own you’d like to share? Feel free to let me know!
