This study aims to shed light on the socio-emotional development of gifted students in Turkey. Gifted children often experience an imbalance between their mental and social-emotional development, with their cognitive abilities progressing more rapidly than their emotional and social skills. This developmental asynchrony can lead to a variety of unique challenges, as their advanced intellectual capabilities are not always matched by emotional maturity, resulting in distinct social-emotional needs. When these needs are not properly addressed, many related problems can arise, such as social isolation, emotional distress, and difficulties in peer relationships.
Understanding the social and emotional needs of gifted children is crucial not only for parents and educators but for all stakeholders involved in the education and support of these students. Being aware of these needs and the problems that may emerge when they are neglected is the first step towards creating effective solutions. Therefore, educators, policymakers, and professionals working with gifted children in Turkey and globally must be equipped with the knowledge and tools to address these issues.
This review will explore the social and emotional problems gifted children face, along with potential solutions to mitigate these challenges. The study will also highlight existing research on the topic through a compilation method, aiming to gather and present relevant findings from various studies. By doing so, it will provide a comprehensive overview of the socio-emotional struggles of gifted students and offer recommendations for supporting their well-being. Addressing these issues is essential for fostering the holistic development of gifted children, ensuring they can thrive both intellectually and emotionally.
