Support the Social Emotional Health of Gifted Students

About This Solution

Gifted students are often perceived as naturally resilient, capable, and emotionally self-sufficient. However, research and experience show that these students can face unique social-emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and social isolation. Educators and caregivers play a crucial role in fostering emotional intelligence and well-being in gifted learners by providing them with the tools they need to navigate their emotions and relationships effectively.

This session provides practical strategies to help gifted students develop strong social-emotional skills and thrive both academically and personally.


After this Quick Video, you will be able to:

  • Understand the relationship between parents’ and educators’ social-emotional health and students’ well-being – Explore how your emotional state influences the mental health and resilience of gifted learners.
  • Help students address mental health challenges and trauma – Recognize signs of stress, anxiety, and depression, and learn effective ways to provide support.
  • Use mindfulness to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression – Introduce brain-calming techniques such as breathwork, meditation, and affirmations to help students manage emotions.
  • Equip students with essential social skills – Teach practical strategies for making and maintaining friendships, setting healthy boundaries, and resolving conflicts.
