I like how you bring in the Hero’s Journey and how gifted students’ differences are an invitation to this inner adventure. I want to learn more in how to help GT students understand this too. Attendee CAGT 2016

I like the ways of calming oneself and the reflective tools that you teach. CAGT 2016 Attendee
I like ways of calming
I like how you showed us that sensitive or gifted kids aren’t inferior or defective, they’re Different by Design!

The 5 G’s are great. I also liked your many analogies. I want to learn more about how symptoms can be a sign to grow and develop and also how to recognize and appropriately express emotions. Attendee CAGT 2016

Thank you again for everything you have done for both my son and myself! He has been coming home happier than I have seen him in years, and more willing to share about his day at school than ever before. He is setting his alarm clock without reminders, taking showers without reminders, making his lunch, and seeking teachers for clarification of assignments!!!! When I tried to remind him about something last week, he said, “If you want me to be independent, let me be independent and figure it out for myself.” I am so happy that he is taking the initiative on his own! I am thrilled. With deepest appreciation! From the Mom of an 8th/ now 9th grade gifted boy.

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 all the steps in the pyramid to help Gifted kids become social-emotional aces. We need more time to learn more about all of this! Attendee CAGT 2016
