The Unique Characteristics of Gifted Students
Sesson 2
We received a handout on "Dabrowski's over-excitabilities/hyper-sensitivities in gifted children" and students were asked to read it and think about whether they possess any of the hyper-sensitivities listed. We began discussion of how this relates to managing stress since a person needs to be able to identify their stressors and triggers in order to begin to deal with them in a healthy way. We then discussed the benefits of relaxation activities and we ended the session with a short relaxation activity.
