Parent Conversations:  Exploring Best Practices for Gifted Children

We will continue to meet with a few variations in a bi-weekly schedule.  Together we will address a parent chosen topic, and provide informative articles and resources.  Please join us to listen, participate, collect resources, share ideas and create a community that supports gifted parenting. Topic suggestions welcome and will change each session.  No time to read? Don't let that stop you from joining these inspiring conversations with other gifted parents and Katherine Peterson, CGCC Board Member / Facilitator. Other CGCC Board Members, including Carole Jones, CGCC President, and Aileen Kelleher, LCSW, CGCC Professional and Board Member will join the discussions, as they are able.

This week's topic is Gifted Friendships & Social Development.  Making friends can be challenging, and our gifted and Twice Exceptional (2E) children who  develop asynchronously, may benefit from our understanding and support.
