Peak Performance for Smart Kids provides success strategies, activities, tools, real-life examples, and checklists for parents to employ to help their kids achieve to their highest potential. Even the most talented child will not succeed if he or she has not developed the mental, psychological, and emotional skills to face the heavy demands of high performance. Maureen Neihart, a psychologist and leading authority on talent development in children, examines seven mental habits of successful kids, providing practical approaches for developing them in talented children of all ages in this easy-to-read guide for parents and teachers. By working with parents to complete the activities included in this book, high-ability kids will learn to manage stress and anxiety, set and achieve goals, use mental rehearsal to improve performance, manage their moods and emotions, practice optimistic thinking, and resolve their frustrations of needing to belong while needing to achieve. With its research-based strategies and unique approach to maximizing potential, this is a book from which every parent of smart kids can benefit!

The Social and Emotional Development of Gifted Children remains the only book that provides a comprehensive summary of the empirical research on the social and emotional development of gifted children by leading authorities in the field. It includes several features that make it the leading text on what we know about the social and emotional development of gifted children. For example, it summarizes the most significant findings from the empirical research on the topic. It also includes noteworthy variations that have been observed across cultural groups or global contexts. Each chapter also provides a short description of the practical applications that can be made from the research. This second edition includes an entirely new section on the psychosocial aspects of talent development, as well as addresses the burgeoning interest and research base regarding gifted performance. The text also includes several new topics that have emerged from the research in the past decade, such as the neuroscience of talent development and motivation for talent development. This book is a service publication of the National Association for Gifted Children.

The Social and Emotional Development of Gifted Children: What Do We Know?

Education & Teaching

Schools & Teaching

¿Qué sabemos sobre el desarrollo emocional y social de los niños con altas capacidades? Las familias y docentes expresan su preocupación por los aspectos emocionales y sociales de este alumnado al que, con frecuencia, se le atribuye una mayor vulnerabilidad que, en ocasiones, limita su acceso a una respuesta educativa de mayor reto. Este texto, editado por la NACG (National Association for Gifted Children, EE.UU), recoge las conclusiones de las investigaciones realizadas en los últimos tres lustros en diversos países, en aspectos como la motivación, el perfeccionismo, la mentalidad de crecimiento o el bajo rendimiento, entre otros muchos, para darnos las claves sobre cómo podemos modular el entorno educativo, la respuesta académica y el estilo de crianza para favorecer un desarrollo emocional y social positivo de los niños con alta capacidad. Los editores Neihart, Pfeiffer y Cross, concluyen que “el contexto y la cultura importan” y que ninguna medida será efectiva si el contenido académico no ofrece el nivel de reto adecuado para cada alumno. En este sentido, las conclusiones nos sirven para reflexionar ampliamente sobre nuestra práctica educativa, no sólo en relación con este alumnado, sino con el de todos. ¿Qué estamos haciendo mal? ¿Qué deberíamos hacer mejor o de otro modo y por qué?
