For the Gifted Child and Teen
"The typical adolescent urge for less dependence on parents makes it
particularly important for students in the middle grades to begin advocating
for themselves. Each year I poll gifted middle schoolers on their comfort
level in self-advocating. Not surprisingly, most are uncomfortable asking a
teacher to modify something for them, and even less comfortable with their
parents asking for them. Advice and assistance from parents is often shunned
as teens transition into the greater independence of secondary school. But
their naive attempts at self-advocacy frequently get them into trouble."

I can’t read your mind,” I told my son when he was a teenager, “so
give me a little help here. What would make school better for you?” His

- Self-Regulated
Learning and Academically Talented Students by Sally Reis
- The development of good self-regulation usually involves self-observation;
self-judgment; self-reaction with goal-setting, self-administered praise or
criticism, and asking for help. Guiding students in acquiring these
strategies can successfully increase their self-regulation and enhance
academic achievement...
