Description
Explore the "Superpowers of the Gifted.” The heightened responses to specific stimuli, particularly found in gifted individuals, were first identified by Dabrowski as the concept of overexcitabilities. Review the five areas and associated characteristics of these "superpowers." Break into groups and share ways to both capitalize on these heightened responses and lessen related frustrations. Take away strategies that the whole family can use to enjoy these superpowers instead of finding them stressful.
