Parent Conversations:  Topic Gifted Parenting Self-Care

We  know parenting gifted learners is complex and demanding.  Self care needs vary widely for each of us, with variations from one person to the next.  Join us for a discussion to gather and share ideas about how to take good care of yourself, overcome  and claim the time you need to be your best.  Here a few articles from our Board Member, Violet Balan:

We will continue to meet bi-weekly on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month with a few exceptions during November & December.   See details on the CGCC calendar.  

We aspire to 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, and 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.   We will cap the group at 10 participants, so please be sure to sign up to save your place.
