Come along to this parent information evening to hear Debra’s journey in advocating for & supporting the educational needs of her gifted children through mainstream schooling.
Social-emotional development is a divisive topic in gifted education. Some research finds that gifted students are definitively well-off, with strong social bonds and emotional health. Other research, equally credible, finds that gifted students are struggling. What on Earth is going on? It turns out that the answer is, not surprisingly, quite complex. Gifted children do develop in characteristic ways, but instead of two, there are four major patterns of relational behaviour emerging from the research.
Join us for an informative evening exploring these patterns of development, and what they mean for supporting our gifted kids. This is a great opportunity for parents, guardians, and anyone interested in gifted social-emotional wellbeing to learn about the newest research in the field.
Are you a parent, educator, or just curious about giftedness and twice exceptionality (2e)?
Join us for a relaxed Meet & Greet in the Park to connect, share experiences, and learn more about the unique strengths and challenges of gifted and twice-exceptional individuals.
