Workshops for parents and teachers are now available through Zoom. Workshops address the social/emotional and behavioral issues commonly seen among gifted children, and provide guidance and support for teachers and parents concerned about supporting them within the schools.
Workshop topics listed below focus on guiding teachers and parents toward a greater understanding of the gifted child. Open-ended, discussion-oriented workshops also are available as a support for working with gifted children, since greater self-discovery and an appreciation of one's own needs as a parent or teacher often best inform both parenting and teaching. My experience as a Clinical Psychologist and group psychotherapist contributes to providing a safe and informative experience for those attending these workshops.
