SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted) Parent Discussion Groups
SENG helps parents gain a better understanding of their gifted children and provides tools to work with them more effectively. It gives parents the opportunity to look at their child from new perspectives and helps them gain insight into their child’s motivations. It also provides a forum for sharing experiences with other parents of gifted children. The result is more confidence and responsiveness for parents, validation and support for children and a happier and a better connected family!
SESSION TOPICS: Topics will include: Identification/Characteristics, Parent Relationships, Sibling Relationships, Communication of Feelings, Stress Management, Depression, Motivation, Tradition Breaking, Peer Relationships, and Discipline. For more information on SENG, go to www.sengifted.org
COST: The sessions are free to parents of Boulder Valley Students. The only fee is the cost of the book you select: Guiding The Gifted Child by Webb, Tolan and Meckstroth ($18), A Parent's Guide To Gifted Children by Webb, Gore, et. al ($25), or the BVSD booklet that succinctly outlines topics and concepts we'll be discussing each week (Free). You can choose the book you want to purchase at the first meeting. Scholarships are available to cover the cost of the book.
