Understanding Gifted Teens
Navigating the teenage years can be tough for anyone, but gifted teens face unique challenges and pressures that set them apart. Understanding these differences is crucial for providing the support they need to thrive emotionally and mentally.
Unique Challenges Faced

Heightened sensitivity: Many gifted teens are more sensitive to their environments, which can lead to overstimulation or emotional distress.
Perfectionism: The pressure to meet high expectations can create stress, often leading to burnout.
These challenges can be exacerbated by a lack of understanding from peers and adults, leading to feelings of loneliness and frustration. For more insights, explore the unexpected consequences of growing up gifted.
