Raising gifted, talented or creative children and teens can be a complex endeavor. There are often many complicated situations that arise due to high sensitivities, intensities and sometimes low executive functioning that create daily life challenges for gifted children or teens and their families. Sometimes school becomes a stressful place for gifted children and teens and they become at risk for underachievement.
Many questions arise when raising gifted children about how they are different, where to find information and resources, how to apply that information to your own situation and what to do when you are stuck and can’t find options to support your family.
Parents can develop “chronic caregiving stress” when their gifted child has high needs. It often takes specialized expertise from someone who understands raising gifted children to find a path out of this cycle of stress.
