Keynote: “Parenting Gifted Kids: Tips for Raising Happy and Successful Children.”

                   by Dr. James Delisle

 

Parents of gifted children and teens have many questions about how best to meet their intellectual and emotional needs. Parents of gifted kids need to know what giftedness is (and what it isn’t). They want to know how to set expectations that are balanced and attainable. They want to know how to help their children find true friends who share similar interests and abilities. Dr. Delisle addresses these and other issues that “come with the territory” of raising gifted children. Jim Delisle brings more than 30 years of experience as a teacher, counselor, professor and parent to us. He has written more than 14 books on gifted education including The Gifted Kids’ Survival Guide: A Teen Handbook and Parenting Gifted Kids: Tips for Raising Happy and Successful Children. His practical advice causes many parents to reexamine the way they perceive and relate to their children. His books will be available for purchase.
