And then just like I said, like I do in the workshop, set one goal that they would like to
set for themselves and figure out what do we need to do to achieve that goal, but to make sure that it's a goal of their own.
Now there's one other thing you might do and this sounds like I'm coming at it from the negative.
But um I ask gifted kids to tell me what their gripes are.
Too often I think gifted kids feel like if they complain about anything, the response from adults is, You are so lucky to be so bright, or you are so fortunate, or think, aren't you glad you don't have to struggle like some students?
And so they don't tend to tell us what their concerns and their frustrations are.
When I ask that question in um in the workshops, I get dead silence for a little while.
And then I hand them.
Mm.
Another resource you'll want to have.
Um, eight great gripes of gifted kids.
Again, this comes from Jim Delisle and Judy Galbrecht's book, Teen Survival Guide for Gifted Kids Survival Guide.
And the kids read through the in my workshop, read through these gripes and they either cross out or they circle things and then they start talking to each other and they discover that many of them share similar gripes and frustrations.
And if we I I hate to say start there with our kids, but if we let them express those frustrations to us and then say, what's the greatest frustration?
How would you like to change that?
And let's turn that frustration into a plan for change.
Let's together work on a way to eliminate that.
That's another really good way we can we can re begin with our um students and let them be honest with us about what it's like, the pros and the cons of being a gifted individual.
Yes.
Um
