Parent Resources and Education
Raising a gifted child is both a joy and a challenge yet, it seems you as parents have limited resources for reliable parenting information. I write these Monthly newsletters in hopes to provide you advice and guidance that is practical rather than theroretical...in hopes to provide tools for you to nurture your relationship with your gifted child, avoid frequent struggles, and help young gifted children find understanding and satisfaction for themselves and others as they grow to reach their potential. I strive to provide strategies that will help you to cultivate caring, courage, and creativity alone with your child's intellectual, academic, artistic, or leadership abilities.
