Welcome to the 2023-24 school year of Parent Conversations!  This semester we will be meeting bi-weekly on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month with a few exceptions during November & December.   

Important note:  These conversations are open to everyone, and aspire to be welcoming, however, they are limited to 10 participants.  If your plans change, please cancel your spot and give a waiting parent the opportunity to participate.  Parent Conversations are FREE to CGCC members, and now $5 for non-members.  See details on the CGCC calendar. 

Our next discussion is Gifted Anxiety and Its Repercussions.  Here are some resources to spark your thinking for our discussion:

We welcome everyone and address gifted topics that are accessible and relevant to busy parents.  Join us to listen, participate, collect resources, share ideas and create community that supports and understands gifted parenting. Topic suggestions welcome and will change each session.  Resources will be provided to inform and fuel the conversation.  It's OK if you don't have time to read, just join us for inspiring conversation with other gifted parents and Katherine Peterson, parent,  CGCC Board Member / Facilitator.   Other CGCC Board Members including Carole Jones, CGCC President, and Aileen Kelleher, LCSW, CGCC Board Member and Professional Member will join as they are able.  Please feel free to reach out to Katherine Peterson, CGCC Board Member & Parent Discussion Facilitator with questions or ideas.
