While children with profound gifts are easily identified, often they see the world in ways that parents wouldn't necessarily think about on their own. And negative behaviors make it all the harder to focus on the child's unique perspective. It addition, there is a large segment of  gifted children whose needs are not being met because they are not identified as gifted, or understood. Once parents recognize and understand the underlying traits associated with their child's gifts, parents can begin to help their children channel the traits into productive life-enhancing skills. This event is designed to help parents in that process. Selections from Dr. James Webb's and Dr. Dan Peter's DVD's on characteristics of gifted will be shown. Discussion will be led by Sheryl Stoller, Certified SENG parent facilitator and PCI Parent Coach. What you will learn at this event is designed to lead you to changes that will enhance your child's growth, mastery of life-skills, and relationship with you, making your life easier and more peaceful, while helping your child realize his or her potential. 

The event is open to the public with limited seating. Please RSVP to be4parents@gmail.com
