Are you challenged with parenting a gifted or 2e child?
You are not alone! Join other parents of gifted children to discuss the unique challenges that gifted children bring to families. Groups offer a forum for parents to gain insight into how their parenting styles and techniques can impact their child’s behavior and development. Parents can speak freely about their child’s development, share parenting concerns, and seek support with others who have similar experiences.

Topics include:
- Characteristics
