Some parenting approaches for gifted kids are limiting or dangerous.
Toni, a thoughtful parent, shared with me: “My six-year-old son saturates himself with each feeling. He experiences life through a magnifying glass, strengthening himself with every feeling. Even life’s nuances are grand and clear. Sometimes people believe that he is overly sensitive but he is truly affected, multiplied by ten, in all things. I worry that his profound feelings, passion, and intensity will lead other children or adults to tease him or just think that he is over-emotional.
In return, I ask, “Does it matter? You have to deal with your intense child, friend, or partner no matter the root of theirproblems or intensities. I wonder if the intensity of gifted people is really a problem. Think about the gifts ofIt is common and understandable to believe that there is something “alarmingly unique” about the passionate intensity of extremely bright individuals in terms of intellectual curiosity and emotional sensitivity.
Moodiness, or strong feelings that change quickly: “I love you, Mommy.""I hate you, Mom; you ruined my life.” Emotional intensity can make being ignored or criticized frightening or painful for a child. Parents need to openly address with empathy and courage their child’s behavioral characteristics of intensity. When strong feelings are handled appropriately, passion and talent can soar. On the other hand, strong feelings can turn to frustration, sadness,, and general alienation from their home community, and even their family.
