Wat als iemand ‘te veel’ is voor zijn of haar omgeving of zichzelf? Te slim, te beweeglijk, te emotioneel, zich te veel laat meeslepen door wat hij ziet of hoort, en/of een overactieve verbeelding heeft? Dat kan belastend zijn en tot frustraties of zelfs (psycho)neuroses leiden. De hoofdstukken in dit boek laten aan de hand van de theorie van positieve desintegratie van Kazimierz Dabrowski zien dat dit uitingen van een bijzondere aanleg en begaafdheid kunnen zijn. De auteurs leren ouders, verzorgers, leraren en andere professionals om deze signalen te herkennen en hierop hun begeleiding af te stemmen om individuen met deze en andere talenten te helpen hun potentieel te ontplooien.

The post 2019: Leven met intensiteit. Over begrip voor de sensitiviteit, prikkelbaarheid en emotionele ontwikkeling van begaafde kinderen, adolescenten en volwassenen appeared first on Stichting Hoogbegaafd!.

The editors have brought together 19 essays by renowned gifted education specialists to produce this important new publication for 2013.

Off the Charts is an exploration of the effects of asynchronous development on gifted children and adults. It contains sections on Asynchrony and the Individual, Asynchrony and the Family, Asynchrony and Learning and chapters describe the nature of asynchrony, methods of dealing with the challenges of asynchrony, and recommendations for adapting education in a variety of settings. A Bibliography on Asynchronous Development provides extensive further reading.

The contributors’ contention is that Gifted Education should be from a child-centered perspective, rather than from a ‘product perspective’ in which the emphasis is on achievement, competition and outer recognition. The child-centered approach concentrates on self-development and personal growth and fosters interrelatedness and wholeness.

It is an important resource for parents, teachers, counselors, and others concerned with the optimal development of gifted to highly-gifted individuals.

The book is dedicated to Annemarie Roeper (1918-2012) who before she died contributed a chapter.

The post 2013: Off the charts. Asynchrony and the gifted child appeared first on Stichting Hoogbegaafd!.

Gifted children and adults are often misunderstood. Their excitement is viewed as excessive, their high energy as hyperactivity, their persistence as nagging, their imagination as not paying attention, their passion as being disruptive, their strong emotions and sensitivity as immaturity, their creativity and self-directedness as oppositional. This resource describes these overexcitabilities and strategies for dealing with children and adults who are experiencing them, and provides essential information about Dabrowski’’s Theory of Positive Disintegration. Learn practical methods for nurturing sensitivity, intensity, perfectionism, and much more.
