gtchatmod - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Q1) How would you explain ‘giftedness’ to a newly identified gifted child? #gtchat

gtchatmod - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Welcome to #gtchat Samantha!

In reply to @indygifted

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 You think differently without trying #gtchat

rlyonsroar Oct 3 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1) or a person who is unfamiliar...today I was asked why we still call it "gifted and talented" #gtchat

morrismichele17 Oct 3 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 it’s the ability to see things and think about things in a different way. #gtchat

In reply to @gtchatmod

giftedchlnges Oct 3 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1) Just a word to describe how you learn differently than others, can figure out things quickly, etc. - does not make you better #gtchat

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 It's like being tall; lots of advantages but also lots of disadvantages #gtchat

A1 You are likely to to be more inquisitive, explore new things, learn quickly & have a good memory... https://t.co/4gDaq0GXBO #gtchat

rlyonsroar Oct 3 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1) You are capable of thinking differently about things #gtchat

MaryStGeorge Oct 3 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1, I'd tend to say, "You're ready for some new challenges, what do you think about that?" #gtchat

katie_fife Oct 3 @ 8:13 PM EDT

My “go to” is that their brain thinks differently than others’ & then we keep learning from there #gtchat

In reply to @gtchatmod

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 Some will tell you that everybody is gifted; this is not true. #gtchat

gtchatmod - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1) Explaining giftedness to a child is often overlooked; assuming they understand all the intricacies of being identified gifted. #gtchat

gtchatmod - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

So, true! Thanks, Jerry! #gtchat

LinnES1961 Oct 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#gtchat A1) I would explain that "gifted" means unique opportunities to develop and use your creativity/intelligence/leadership for positive change in your knowledge/class/world

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

This is true. Most kids have no idea why they took that test/why they get pulled out/what the label means. #gtchat

gtchatmod - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1) Explaining giftedness to a child is often overlooked; assuming they understand all the intricacies of being identified gifted. #gtchat

rlyonsroar Oct 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1)This is an aspect of being identified that is often overlooked. Talking to Ss about the myths of being GT is empowering #gtchat

gtchatmod - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Should We Tell Them They're Gifted? https://t.co/RqJ8QnCZKX #gtchat

MaryStGeorge Oct 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1, I'd choose my words very carefully if the child is twice exceptional. Acknowledge the difficulties. #gtchat

gtchatmod - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1) Important for children to understand what it being gifted is; otherwise, may accept myths perpetuated by society. #gtchat

msheathervaughn Oct 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1. You have a beautiful mind that processes information differently. Sometimes this will be advantageous; sometimes isolating. #gtchat

rlyonsroar Oct 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1) Gifted Bill of Rights https://t.co/KkE7cX2kbc #gtchat

HeatherBombard2 Oct 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1) Gifted means learning things at a different rate and learning things differently than others. #gtchat

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 Understanding the label is the first step to self advocating #gtchat

jofrei Oct 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1) I would explain that it meant they thought and experienced differently and would need provisions- I would share Cheetah Analogy #gtchat

MaryStGeorge Oct 3 @ 8:16 PM EDT

I used to. Many students have rejected the label. #gtchat

A1 I really like this! Could see myself adding this into conversations. #gtchat

gtchatmod - Moderator Oct 3 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1) Being gifted is more than simply academic achievement or excellence in everything. It’s ok to fail or < expected. #gtchat

MaryStGeorge Oct 3 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Now I take a more individualised approach. Talk about their strengths, their challenges but use label less. #gtchat

A2) Anxiety is often present when Ss are trying to be what/who they are not; let them be them #gtchat

MaryStGeorge Oct 3 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2, depends very much on the child, and the group they are trying to fit in with. #gtchat

MollyFConlon Oct 3 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A1) being gifted doesn’t mean you can’t (or won’t) fail.. normalize failure & help them understand giftedness #gtchat

DianaMaskell Oct 3 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 It depends on how much of it has been passed onto them from their parents #gtchat

Yes! It's often debated whether to tell kids they're gifted. Many put off by "elitist" stereotype. But self-understanding is key! #gtchat

A2) Often gifted students have anxiety when they fail or don’t do as well as expected.Remind them it’s okay & they can learn from it #gtchat

A2) Adults may place unfair expectations on children based on their perception of ‘gifted’; hard to live up to at times. #gtchat

giftedchlnges Oct 3 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2) Vicious cycle - exclusion heightens anxiety, but more fearful, anxious kids may want to fit in more - and mask their abilities #gtchat

rlyonsroar Oct 3 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@msheathervaughn check it off the to do list :) #gtchat

missjiamboi Oct 3 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2) I've noticed anxiety as a prevailing OE in my students, which makes them feel like they "fit in" even less #gtchat

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 The system itself creates anxiety. We wring our hands about it, but don't fight off college board, class rank, etc. #gtchat

DianaMaskell Oct 3 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: Gifted Ss are aware they think differently, which may cause a disconnect socially. They may "downplay" their intellect to fit in #gtchat

In reply to @gtchatmod

MaryStGeorge Oct 3 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 I have taught kids I thought were not anxious at all, in a withdrawal programme. Later found very anxious in regular classroom. #gtchat

msheathervaughn Oct 3 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2. There is an inherent need to connect & can be scary/limiting to feel unsure that a connection can be found/established. #gtchat

w8nonsummer Oct 3 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Where each child has their own individual needs I agree with Mary that you have to approach each student in their own way. #gtchat

Not feeling as if they fit, or do you mean enjoying their own company at that time? #gtchat

Q3) How does asynchronous development affect a gifted kid’s ability to ‘fit in’? #gtchat

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:26 PM EDT

This is one area where I think we really hothouse GT kids. Growing up is rough and we can't shelter them too much. #gtchat

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2 We also need to accept that ALL kids have anxiety about fitting in--some of it is just life, high school, etc... #gtchat

rlyonsroar Oct 3 @ 8:26 PM EDT

So true! Sometimes GT Ss don't realize how awesome they are bc they focus on who they are not #gtchat

katie_fife Oct 3 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2 it’s not that anxiety makes kids not fit in... they may be fitting in fine and just not FEELING like it #gtchat

LinnES1961 Oct 3 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Anxiety about fitting in may be what makes them like non-GT peers. Like non-GT kids, they need strategies to overcome the anxiety. #gtchat

HeatherBombard2 Oct 3 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Q2) Anxiety is caused by perfectionism. This is very commonly found as a quality of a Gifted Student. Mistakes are proof of trying. #gtchat

jofrei Oct 3 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A2) Gifted students are often anxious about many things - they can see possible future consequences. They want to fit in but .... #gtchat

rlyonsroar Oct 3 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3) This can be very confusing for Ss, bc they succeed in one area and struggle in another #gtchat

CTRodGifted Oct 3 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 It's hard to have adult conversations with kids and its just as hard to have adult conversations with adults who condescend. #gtchat

katie_fife Oct 3 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Anxiety causes us to pick things apart that may not even be there— kids may be fitting in but picking apart why they don’t #gtchat

Asynchronist development affects the gifted child in fitting in because the child will devleopment emotionally, and intellectuall #gtchat

A3) It can be difficult in a small school with only so many like-minded peers... creative problem solving is a must here #gtchat

Agreed! It is quite the challenge to be an intellectual peer at any age...vulnerability (& authenticity) is on the line. #gtchat
