Celebrate National Parenting Gifted Children Week
July 15-21, 2012
The fifth annual National Parenting Gifted Children Week is July 15-21, 2012, according to the national nonprofit organization SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of Gifted), official sponsor of the week. National Parenting Gifted Children Week was established with the National Special Events Registry in 2007 to celebrate the joys and challenges of raising, guiding, and supporting bright young minds.
This year, SENG begins its celebration with its SENG 2012 Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Shining Light on Giftedness: Empowering Families and Communities, July 13-14, 2012. The conference features keynote speakers and authors Michael Piechowski, Rosina Gallagher, and Joy Lawson Davis, as well as nearly 50 different sessions designed for grandparents, parents, educators and mental health professionals; continuing education credit options for psychologists, health professionals and educators; and programs for children and teens. Register online at http://www.sengifted.org/programs/conferences/milwaukee-2012-conference/registration.
To learn more about the SENG conference, visit http://www.sengifted.org and read a recent interview with SENG Founder James T. Webb, “Organization Rallies for Gifted Children” (http://www.examiner.com/article/organization-supports-gifted-children).
In 1981, SENG was formed to bring attention to the unique emotional needs of gifted children. Its mission is to empower families and communities to guide gifted and talented individuals to reach their goals: intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. SENG is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization led by a highly dedicated volunteer Board of Directors to provide free and low-cost programs to address the social and emotional needs of gifted children and the families, educators and health professionals who serve them. SENG envisions a world where gifted, talented and creative individuals are supported to build gratifying, meaningful lives and contribute to the well-being of others, and, to this end, reaches out to diverse communities that share our mission across the nation and the globe.
