The first month of school is often when the shine wears off and students begin carrying the real weight of routines, expectations, and belonging. For gifted students, the most important conversations may be the ones parents don’t force but make room for—about what is interesting, difficult, lonely, energizing, and still taking shape.
In this encore episode, Corey Alderdice, a national voice on talent and transformation, explores how parents can use the first-month checkpoint to connect with gifted students through open-ended questions and patient listening. He considers academics, friendships, stress, sleep, rest, and goals for the semester, offering a reminder that a check-in should feel less like an audit than an invitation to be seen and supported.
