Project Description
BEYOND THE LABELS: RAISING ENLIGHTENED GIFTED AND 2e CHILDREN
If this is a gift, can I give it back? The lack of education about how to identify this group of individuals and, more so, how to educate and raise them can be debilitating and devastating. The challenges of how difficult it is for these children to navigate through a world that is not equipped to understand their nuances of what it means to be gifted or gifted with academic challenges (twice exceptional) can damage these children’s self-esteem and set them up for failure. The difficulty in parenting gifted and 2e children can be isolating and lonely. In this workshop, we will explore how to identify and help gifted/2e children.

WHAT PARENTS SAY
Put Simply, this course has changed our lives. Using the techniques we learned in this class brings us closer to our children and each other on a daily basis. It has improved our communication in every aspect of our lives, including professionally. This course is a must for every parent
As an attorney I am logical and persuasive. I could not imagine what a parenting course could possibly provide but my wife convinced me to join her. We have two year old twins. The methods and insight I gained during this course have been invaluable. They have improved communication with respect to my work, our marriage and no doubt will pay off for a lifetime of raising our children. I encourage every parent to take this course.
Out of the many books I have read, lectures I have attended, and comments or advice I have received from other professionals, this class has been the most enlightening, useful and transformative resource for parenting – as well as for relationship building in general that I have ever experienced. Profound!
“I began the course with the utmost skepticism but early on I experienced the biggest paradigm shift of my life! The most valuable gift a parent can acquire is the power to empathize with one’s child and seeing the world through his/her eyes. Acquiring this ability is an exciting journey that I started in this course. I cannot wait to take the course again.
Thank you so much; I am much closer to my son just in these few weeks of classes! From a male perspective this course is great for my relationship with my wife as well as my co-workers.
The course lived up to all my expectations. I really believe I that I will enjoy a healthier and happier relationship with my daughter – as well as my husband and family.
Thank you so much for reminding us how to stay present with our children. We have already seen a huge difference in our family. By giving us these great tools we are happier and much calmer with our two boys. I can’t wait to do more workshops and recommend this to all our friends.
I honestly loved it all…[t]his course is a must for all parents. I learned to respect my wife and children.
This class changed how I view my role as a parent. It provided me with the tools to become a better parent and, ultimately, a better person.
Melanie was terrific, a great guide for a more loving way to parent.
