Also, some common acronyms you will see are Ss for students, Ts for teachers, GT for gifted, and DI for Differentiated Instruction #mogtchat

A1: Not all Ss are the same. W/o DI Ts instruct GT S at an incorrect level &/or pace. DI is crucial 4 an appropriate curr. match. #mogtchat

A2: I'm not sure why there aren't more books on parenting highly GT-perhaps the myths & misconceptions have discouraged authors. #mogtchat

#mogtchat @MOgtchat Deb's book is one of my favorites. Most don't address the parent/home social emotional...I have a booklet for my peeps

MOgtchat - Moderator Dec 15 @ 9:16 PM EST

Q2: ___(See Pic) #mogtchat

EmilyKM_LPC Dec 15 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3: Asynchronous development = 14yo mind in 8yo body. Ts & Ps unconsciously expect emotions to equate with cognitive ability. #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Dec 15 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: Sometimes Parents are surprised b/c positive comments re:precocious (cute) GT toddlers can turn 2 neg. once they enter school. #mogtchat

GruenerConsults Dec 15 @ 9:26 PM EST

@MOgtchat #mogtchat Because they do not follow the typical developmental models (what to expect) information handed out to all parents

mburstin1 Dec 15 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3: Asynchronous development can lead to surprising/unpredictable/conflicting behavior and choices -- for both parents and Ss. #mogtchat

#mogtchat A4: Go deeper and make connections for that interest. Motivate Ss through ind. learning goals on topics that aren't their fave.

teacherica3 Dec 15 @ 9:42 PM EST

Yes! I find this to be true. These kinds of behaviors are reinforced, but cause issues when working with other Ss. #mogtchat

A6: I think direct instruction CAN help w/ lagging social skills but Ss must have an chance to practice IRL w/ like-minded peers. #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Dec 15 @ 9:45 PM EST

A6: Knowing the steps of how to make friends doesn't equate with finding commonalities btn peers creating the bond of friendship. #mogtchat

#mogtchat being with like peers renders that type of "intervention" mute for most

Q7: _____(See Pic) #mogtchat

EmilyKM_LPC Dec 15 @ 9:48 PM EST

A7: Model appropriate skills, role play, and teach kids to compromise. Get buy-in by letting Ss take the lead on topic & project. #mogtchat

mburstin1 Dec 15 @ 9:48 PM EST

A6: Friendship isn't an equation to be solved or a book to be devoured. It's abstract and messy, which can be hard for gifted Ss #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Dec 15 @ 9:50 PM EST

A7: Sharing the benefits/progress/breakthroughs made from famous partnerships/collab. can help GT Ss see a benefit in coop. #mogtchat

teacherica3 Dec 15 @ 9:51 PM EST

A7: Coaching or conferencing one-on-one during those "teachable moments." Explain the why and provide strategies to try if needed #mogtchat
