Greetings,
I am so glad that Nita has set up our GT blog. Thank you, Nita.
It is gratifying to see the level of interest among parents for gifted education. I think we are setting in motion an opportunity for parents to network and discover interesting and important opportunities for their children.

As a parent of gifted children, sometimes I feel so alone in the struggle of educating these great kids. It is nice to have a parent support group to help out…I don’t feel so alone now

The best way to achieve these goals is through honest dialog and brainstorming. So, let’s talk.
