Parents of gifted or twice-exceptional children and teens are invited to participate in a guided discussion group, led by Dr. Lisa Hancock, a SENG certified master facilitator, about the strengths, challenges, and needs of gifted and twice-exceptional children, and the parenting issues related to those needs. Topics include behaviors, characteristics, overexcitabilities, intensity, perfectionism, stress, relationships, existential depression, concurrent and possibly hidden disabilities, underachievement, academic strategies, testing, and advocacy.

The group follows the SENG model and refers to the book  A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children, by James Webb, et al. For more information on SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of Gifted) see www.sengifted.org
