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

There are so many things that are still unknown in the world of GT: The best way to identify kiddos, how to serve them to maximize their potential and how to support parents, students and teachers in this endeavor. The best way to achieve these goals is through honest dialog and brainstorming. So, let’s talk.

Good information, working with my students who have severe challenges has helped me to appreciate the gifted side of them. Wish GT was around when I was going through the grades. There is so much talent that is not encouraged because we spend so much time focusing on the deficits in our children.

I agree with you William. GT has brought strengths to the table. There is something so special about each of the children in which we get the privalege to educate. Fucusing on strengths allows us to hopefully progress further and tap into what a student can become in the future. Thanks
