    Parent Conversations:  Topic TBD

    Even though our topic has not been determined you can still sign up for this event to hold your place.

    We aspire to welcome everyone and safely 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, and resources may be provided to inform and fuel the conversation.  It's OK if you don't have time to read resources, 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, and Esther Tarkieltaub, 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, ideas or to share your comments.

    Gifted 105: Girls 

    I got a call from the teacher about my daughter... I wish my daughter could do what my son does... she's just smart.... right? My daughter won't do anything academic, everything is too easy but she won't apply herself. My daughter has big feelings. My daughter is not like my friends' kids. My daughter is not like her classmates. Who are the gifted girls? What are their traits and characteristics, and how do I raise them?

How do you survive generational trauma and overcome this adversity and help yourself and your child?
