SENG Parent Groups

SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted)

Parenting our children is rewarding and challenging! We all have questions.... Am I doing enough, doing too much, should we change schools, should my child have more friends, when is adversity building resilience and when does it become overwhelming? Join our SENG Parent Support Group to ask questions, share stories, and consider options and opportunities for our gifted and twice-exceptional children. We are on a mission to build community and support fellow parents, educators, and practitioners in understanding and caring for our extraordinary children. We meet virtually once a week for six week sessions. If you are interested in joining us, please complete this interest form. We look forward to meeting you!
