My Gifted Child - Gifted Parenting Series

With Dr Geraldine Townend

Time: 9:30-12:30

Date: Friday, November 8th 2019

Venue: Central Lecture Block CLB 4, UNSW, Kensington

Parents of gifted children are in a unique situation. Often, the advanced development of the abilities of a gifted child outpaces the child’s physical or emotional development, resulting in frustration for both parent and child. It is common for parents of gifted children to feel confused about the educational needs of their child, and GERRIC’s parent resources aim to address parents’ concerns and challenges. Our parent workshops provide an opportunity for parents to develop a greater understanding of their gifted child’s needs, to interact with other parents of gifted children, and to learn from current research and experts in the field of gifted education.

This session provides a general overview of the needs of gifted children and is a great introduction to the following, more specialised Parent Courses where many topics will be explored in greater depth. Please feel free to submit a question in your registration form so it can be covered in the workshop's Q&A forum.
