The concept of “gifted” is defined and reasons for differences in social-emotional needs of gifted children together with how asynchronous development can be an important factor effecting their social-emotional states are explained. Different problems in this context are then considered, including loneliness, perfectionism, stress, depression and suicide. Finally, discussion and suggestions on social-emotional situations that need further research to ensure that gifted children can become emotionally healthy adults are presented UR - https://doi.org/10.1501/Egifak_0000001239 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/508764 ER -
