I liked how you walked through the gifted characteristics in a new way. JP
Gifted Characteristics
I like how you showed us Jung’s approach and how it means that many gifted have a need to develop personally to a deeper, higher level, and that problems are an “invitation to grow and develop further”. Attendee, CAGT 2016
Jung's approach
I like how you teach describe the intensity of your emotions like different colored flags flying on a beach. Also, I like how the part about does the color of your flag match what’s actually happening on the beach helps refocus. Attendee CAGT 2016
What color flag
I like ACES – how gifted students can become social and emotional ACES. I like the tools you teach to help them do that. Attendee CAGT 2016
ACES
I like your cycles of discouragement and encouragement. We barely scratched the surface of you have here. I want to learn more. Attendee CAGT 2016
Courage Cycles
I like the analogy of ocean waves and emotion waves – and that there are degrees of feelings, just like different colored flags on an ocean beach. I want more time to learn about this!
Emotional waves
I like how you showed that gifted kids can learn to accept and ride their waves of emotion. Attendee CAGT 2016
Ride the Waves
Your container technique for trauma is the best. HM, SENG Conference 2015.
Container technique
Great analogies of the ocean and emotions. “Real” conversation. I can SO relate. BS, teacher.
Great analogies
Honestly, this really helps me understand myself a lot better. I learn that I can heal myself and find my place in life. I feel that I’m not alone with my feelings and sensitivity. Thank you so much!
