OVER EXCITABILITIES AND SENSITIVITY
“Overexcitabilities feed, enrich, empower and amplify talent”.
(Piechowski, 1999, pp325-6)
Over excitabilities and sensitivity are part of the gifted 'package'. They are not something to be 'fixed', rather to be understood in teh context of the child. Stress tends to exacerbate sensitivities and when they are there in children, they are probably also there to some degree in parents, which can make for intense households!
Some books you may find useful include:
Living with Intensity by Susan Daniels
Emotional Intensity in GIfted Students by Christine Fonseca
Mellow Out! They Say, If I Only Could by Michael Piechowski
Some sites with good information to help you understand over excitabilities, intensity and sensitivities include:
Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration on the Hoagies site
or on Metagifted
Dabrowski's Overexcitabilities or Supersensitivities in Gifted Children
