You are invited to a discussion group for parents of gifted/talented students sponsored by Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented (AAGT). It will be held Saturday, January 23, 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. at Mesa Community College. This opportunity is an important part of a workshop in which professionals in your area are being trained to conduct guided discussion groups based on the SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of Gifted) model. SENG workshop participants will facilitate the Saturday afternoon sessions under the supervision of Dr. James Webb and Mrs. Arlene DeVries who are conducting the training. The presenters, who co-authored the award winning book, “Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children,” will share information about gifted children, followed by parent discussions on topics such as motivation, discipline, stress management, peer relations, sibling rivalry, and tradition breaking, as they relate to parenting gifted children. This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet other parents of gifted, and gain some insights in guiding the development of your child.
