It’s so good to know that we’re not alone or weird for having these feelings. I liked learning how to process the trauma. Good actionable items for helping my child when overwhelmed. I want a longer session. You have so much to offer. Thank you VERY MUCH! ST, GT adult, GT parent. SENG Conference 2015
Not alone
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.

“Since using the Personal Power Pyramid almost very day, we’re recognizing our limits in time to honor them, instead or running right over them like we used to do. This helps us in so many ways.” Mom of 10 year old gifted girl.
Recognizing our limits
I especially liked your strategies for struggling students. I want more time to learn more from you. BW

I like what you taught about gifted, sensitive kids being racehorses. I also like the resources you gave. Thank you! Attendee CAGT 2016

Great analogies of the ocean and emotions. “Real” conversation. I can SO relate. BS, teacher.

Thank you again for a fun and informative presentation to my graduate students. Several students made a point to tell me how much they got out of your presentation. The exercise you facilitated is one they really enjoyed and learned from. Thanks for being such a good resource for me and my students. You shared a wealth of information and I am most appreciative!

Many thanks for your presentations to the Support Group and to our Team Retreat Day. Your wisdom and presence deepened all the messages for each event. Core team members said you were very helpful in finding our purpose, and that you helped break a logjam in team dynamics and enabled us to move forward as a team.

Thank you for the seminar you provided at our church about parenting children with ADD. The positive responses I received from those attending were deeply felt. They were touched by the breadth of your knowledge and insight. You were a resource to them on practical ways to engage and encourage kids with AD/HD. Thank you for sharing your expertise in this important area.

I like how you showed that gifted kids can learn to accept and ride their waves of emotion. Attendee CAGT 2016
