How can I help my very bright child develop social skills?
The socioemotional development of a gifted child can be very difficult and should be a primary concern for parents. Coaching your child in how to develop friendships is very useful and effective. Also, gifted children often do better if they have other gifted children to play with or adults who encourage their interests. Don't leave your child's socialization to chance. Set up social situations or excursions where your child has to interact with peers.
