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

Core Emotional Strength
We’re ALL using the ACES tools almost every day in some way. It helps our intense family members all be more peaceful and take challenges in stride much better than we used to. Mom of 7 & 9 year old highly sensitive boys.

Thank you for helping my son. Because of you he knows that ADD is an actual condition and he is not just lazy. I hear forward motion in his voice and see the movement in his activities. I have been praying for help with him for a long time and felt drawn to your name. I don’t believe in coincidences I call them God-incidences. You have my gratitude.
Thank you for helping my son
I don’t feel so hurt and angry all the time.

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
