Parenting Gifted Children is often challenging on many levels. You may feel isolated as friends and family don’t understand your situation or your child’s needs. Your child’s behavior and your parenting style may be questioned by people around you, yourself or your spouse.

Join other parents in a safe and confidential setting to discuss unique challenges that gifted children bring to families.

Parents have an opportunity to openly and comfortably share their experiences, receive support, guidance and advice. Participants will develop parenting skills to nurture the self-concept and emotional development of talented children and their families.

Two facilitators, Julie F. Skolnick, M.A., J.D. and founder of With Understanding Comes Calm, LLC, Supporting Parents of Gifted Children and Christine Borgelt, Psychologist, PhD, EdS, MS, both trained facilitators through SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted) sengifted.org.
