RLL #83: [Audioblog] Socialization and Your Gifted or Intense Child
As homeschooling parents of these intense, quirky, brilliant kiddos, we are often asked about socialization. It doesn’t seem much of a problem when these kiddos are constantly sharing their latest discovery or talking about subjects of interest at length with us, and overall getting along just fine with us here at home. Where it can sometimes be a problem is in outside social situations, where all those strengths can push kids, and even their parents, away from our gifted and intense kids.
Today on the podcast, listen as Colleen shares an audioblog — an article that first appeared on the site — detailing how we can help our gifted and intense kids socialize better.
