Understanding High Energy Gifted Kids - 0 views

  • since abundant physical energy is so opposite from the typical image of a gifted learner, it’s shamefully easy to overlook this child’s intelligence and focus only on his behavior. Many behavior issues can be solved with a simple pre-assessment. The physical movement cranks up with boredom. If he already knows something, move him onto something interesting that he doesn’t already know! Or, if a kid is brimming with physical energy, don’t ask him to contain it (which is impossible). Give him a chance to burn it off. Quick “movement breaks” are great, and not just for your high-energy kids. These kids might need a few easy adaptations: an exercise ball to bounce on in place of a chair the option to stand in the back of the class rather than sit during a lesson a squeeze toy to release energy during a test
