Description
Early childhood educators are often baffled by young gifted children who are highly sensitive to the expectations and feelings of other children and adults. They demonstrate deep emotional intensity and advanced moral judgment. Teachers deserve to learn about the nature of such children so that they can develop strong emotional foundations within the classroom that lead to self-confidence, close companionship, and heightened academic potential. In this energetic presentation, the presenter shares strategies to help young children problem solve as they build on collaborative, cooperative, and community building skills in their daily programs.
