![]() Megan Bearce Marriage & family therapist Has your daughter been identified as gifted or talented? As she heads into her teenage years have you noticed her becoming withdrawn or downplaying her talents? Being identified as gifted often brings unique challenges and high expectations that can leave teens feeling misunderstood, frustrated or driven to perfection out of fear of failure. One misconception is that gifted teens can handle problems on their own, and whether your teen is a gifted athlete, artist, or exceptionally bright, it is important to pay attention to their unique social and emotional needs.Fellow classmates can be jealous, leading to isolation or low self-esteem. Parents may make assumptions about how a teen is coping with stress, but girls may hide how much they are struggling emotionally. My job is to help your daughter explore these topics in a safe environment.Gifted and talented girls can develop into strong confident women with the right support and guidance.
