The Silent Achiever: Supporting Academically Successful but Socially Withdrawn Children

TEN-Teach Empower Nurture

In this episode of the TEN Podcast, we explore a topic that resonates deeply with parents, educators, and caregivers: the "silent achiever." These children excel academically yet seem disengaged, isolated, or absent-minded in their social and emotional lives.

Join host Jahseen Foster as she delves into the possible causes behind this behaviour, from internalised anxiety and perfectionism to past experiences and a need for control. Jahseen shares practical strategies to support these children both at school and at home, fostering confidence, connection, and emotional resilience.

Discover how small steps—like creating safe spaces, encouraging peer interaction, and promoting reflective practices—can make a big difference. Plus, learn how to collaborate between school and home to nurture a balanced, thriving child.

Let’s break the silence and help children shine in all aspects of their lives. 🌟
