The Unparalleled Journey Parenting Profoundly Gifted Children: The Experts Weigh In

Friday, November 10, 2023
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Yucatan 2/3
In this panel discussion, four experts in gifted education (a neuroscientist, a gifted school founder, a psychotherapist, and a gifted book publisher — all parents of Profoundly Gifted (PG) offspring) provide advice about raising PG children who thrive. Practical boots-on-the-ground wisdom combines with research-based and theoretical perspectives to deliver an impact-driven oeuvre of parenting strategies that matter.

Learning Objectives:

  • State PG core learning, social, and developmental needs from birth to young adulthood.
  • Describe diverse strategies for raising PG offspring who are authentic, autonomous, self-actualizing, and active in various educational, social, cultural, and professional settings.
  • Discuss insights from various disciplines -- neuroscience, gifted education, and developmental psychology -- as they provide perspectives on the uncommon and extraordinary needs of the Profoundly Gifted.
