Live by MenteSociale on giftedness, to recognize the signs and understand what to do. Giftedness, high cognitive potential, genius, gifted: there are different terms used when talking about individuals who are endowed with very high intelligence. Beyond the terminology, giftedness is a very complex construct, which cannot be traced back only to high intelligence, but to a wide range of behavioral and personal characteristics that are expressed in different ways. At school, it is not uncommon for these children to face difficulties, especially of a relational nature, or due to the strong gap between the proposed teaching and cognitive skills. And in the family it is increasingly complicated to understand how to manage these potentials without seeing them as problematic even in the relationship with the child's school world. We talk about these aspects with Dr. Elena Bonciarelli, psychologist and psychotherapist, who has been dedicated to the topic of Giftedness for years. The live broadcast is hosted by Dr. Martina Ursitti, a psychologist on the MenteSociale staff, an expert in the evaluation and treatment of learning disabilities.
