Before we were parents of LGBTQ-gifted teens/young adults, we were parents of gifted children. Before becoming parents, we were gifted education scholars. Before our PhDs, we studied the best ways to meet all children’s psychological/educational needs. Each identity helped prepare us for the next. Learn the difference between good parenting, good parenting for gifted children, and strategies for raising LGBTQ-gifted children.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the differences among best parenting practices in general, best practices for parenting the gifted, and best practices for parenting LGBTQ children.
Understand how different identities intersect and how this is relevant to parenting gifted children.
Describe successful parenting strategies for promoting self-actualization.
