intrinsic motivation

This place is bigger for them.

PAYING ATTENTION ON PURPOSE

MINDFULNESS

I can observe without judgment.

Who knew?

Get some mindfulness training.

Get some vocab.

Get another language.

Stamina. Not just intensity, baby.

Facilitate

debriefing &

reconsolidate.

Connection with PEERS

need fulfillment

empathy

academic self-concept

lack of emotional anxiety

openness to experience

Different expectations for friendships are okay and to be expected.

You don’t

have to like

everyone.

Really.

Point out pictures & discuss feelings.

Great concert, but not the best choice for a kid with high sensitivity to loud noise. Just sayin’...

Don’t set them up for failure.

It matters {a lot}

if her friends like

to read, too.

Connection with PARENTS

Parents need to

be advocates &

reliable reporters.

Trading these does not count as conversation.

You’re making more than potatoes.

It’s about passion, not a grade.

Connection with TEACHERS

KEYS to school success

operate & cooperate in a group

show respect for property & feelings

patience with process

RATE & WAIT

Gifted kids are not just brains

in jars.

A good one of these is a trait, not a destiny.

We have

seen the

enemy,

and it is

not her.

Connection with COMMUNITY

Help them serve.
