SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted) Parent Discussion Groups

These groups are offered by the BVSD Office of Advanced Academic Services each year for parents of students who are Talented and Gifted (TAG) 
 
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: A Parent's Guide To Gifted Children by Webb, Gore, et. al ($25), or the BVSD booklet, TAG Parent Discussion Group Guide, that succinctly outlines topics and concepts we'll be discussing each week (Free). There are still a few copies available at $18 of the older Guiding the Gifted Child. You can choose the book you want to purchase at the first meeting. Scholarships are available to cover the cost of the book for those who need them.
