Melanie, Yes, we have training in several areas, including Baton Roiuge in April 2012, and then at the SENG Conference in July 2012. Either would be a wonderful opportunity. Even better,bring a friend and train together!

With my yenogust graduating from high school this year, I am constantly asked about empty nest’ syndrome. The questioner is often bewildered at my response ~ I’ve spent a lifetime of preparing my child for this day! It is truly the first day of the rest of their lives. They can be the person they have already been for so long; years before their chronological peers. Yes, it is challenging to parent a gifted child, but the rewards far outweigh the challenge!

Ahhhh. But sitemomes there isn’t an explanation. Sometimes it’s just a gut feeling to say no, as long as it’s for the right reasons. Try explaining that one to a kid. Been there done that.

Actually, I see the directory, but it’s not in my state. Any other suggestions?

Hello, inspirational eldest stepdaughter here. I’m 19 years old now, and I’m so proud of what Carol’s been doing for gifted children (and their parents). Her work is enabling people to better understand themselves and their function within society, allowing them to maximize their potential and to improve their self-esteem. Love ya, Carol!

As a parent of two gifted children, I was so confused and frustrated. The SENG group was a huge comfort to me. I am always refering back to the advice I received from our facilitators and other parents. I am still learning but I feel now I have a better grasp towards understanding the uniqueness of my children. Carol, you are amazing. Your knowledge, insight and dedication to the education and understanding of our gifted children is awe-inspiring. Thank you…

Bravo, Carol! I am constantly amazed by your gifts and I see our students benefit every day from your hard work and devotion. It is an honor and privilege to call you my teammate. Thank you for the devotion you have to our students, and the passion you have for the social and emotional needs of our gifted students.

Comment on Education Technology For Our Children by Barbara Haig

I’m the mother of two gifted young adults who, unfortunately, were born just a little too late to take advantage of much of this technology in their schools. I continue to try to work with schools, however, and I’ve found the biggest obstacle is the teachers. Because so much of the technology and programming is very intuitive, the kids often can hop on and go. It’s the teachers – some who hardly know how to use email and are busy keeping up with classes of 30 or more – who don’t have the time or inclination to figure out how to differentiate and integrate technology and online lessons into their day. Perhaps it will change as younger people enter the workforce (though I know many older people who are quite handy with the computer) or as the students themselves take off running and leave the teachers behind.
