At BCMS I have been meeting with all EDGE students for weekly virtual advisory meetings. Our first meetings have gone very well; I really enjoy spending time with students in a more intimate setting. We have really been focusing on being ourselves and making EDGE a safe place to share who we are as learners, students and gifted teens. Students choose the topics and we have a theme each week. My favorite theme so far was pet week.
Overall, Students are overwhelmed, and understandably still experiencing heightened stress that is affecting their sleep and concentration. I brought up the fact that some GT students do have sleep issues and this is normal for a the GT brain. The following articles/blog posts are very helpful in learning more about how anxiety and sleep affect GT teens.
