Our analysis revealed four themes: (a) demonstrating advanced abilities, (b) displaying motivation to do well, (c) enjoying the company of adults and peers, and (d) experiencing difficulties regulating emotions. Furthe…
Health security warning intelligence during first contact with Covid
Effective community response to health security crises, regardless of attribution, is predicated on access to warning intelligence coupled to response. The American state of Nevada’s experience with COVID is examined here to evaluate lessons learned in bridging health security warning intelligence for the novel coronavirus (COVID) pandemic directly to hospital preparedness and response. This case study is based on the findings of a workshop conve…

We asked 106 parents of gifted learners about their usage of the …
Parental Bilingualism’s Relationship to Creativity of Parents and Their Children
Monolingual (n = 9) and non-monolingual (n = 16) parents from 25 families, and 34 of their children (N = 59). took the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) Figural Form A. Monolingual and non-monolingual group scores did not differ significantly for parents or their children. Scores were compared with the number of languages spoken by parents and with the degree to which bilingualism was balanced or nonbalanced. Second language proficiency …
