De-Escalating: Helping Gifted Children Identify Their Emotions and Regain Control
Teacher describes a de-escalation approach for gifted children using a “new thinking” strategy. In an example, a student devastated for missing math competition is heard, validated, and guided to reframe the situation, rehearse skills, and plan support. The goal is helping students process emotions and develop lasting self-regulation.
