EP24: Why do some gifted children lack self-esteem?
Why do some gifted children lack self-esteem? I think it is a valid question...even if not all of them do! Some children were gifted with so much more intensity, depth, and intelligence. Yet, they don’t appreciate and value their self-worth. With asynchronous development and overexcitabilities, their social well-being is a bit complicated at times, not always and not necessarily dramatically. But yes, they will display differences compared to this very neurotypical world. Those differences are the starting point for their discomfort.
