Thank you again for all of your amazing insights and strategies that I’m finding myself using daily.

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!

I like how you included Dabrowski’s theory of Positive Disintegration to show how negative emotions are essential for advanced development. 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 how you showed us that sensitive or gifted kids aren’t inferior or defective, they’re Different by Design!

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
