NAGC Social and Emotional Supports for Gifted Students

Parents,

Good afternoon. I hope you and your family are managing well during these challenging times. The National Association for Gifted Children recently published a resource for parents to provide social and emotional support for their child(ren) at home. Being out of school can affect gifted students in unique ways. You can access the document at the following link: https://www.nagc.org/social-emotional-support
