Is your child gifted?

 

Do you wonder if they're gifted but aren't quite sure?

 

Do you want to know how to support your gifted child's learning in a way that doesn't pressure them or make them resist working with you?

 

If so, this episode will help.

 

I have to say, I wasn't sure where this one was going to end up.  I was really uneasy about the concept of giftedness from the outset, perhaps because the way I had previously come into contact with it was through https://www.yourparentingmojo.com/schoolprivilege (our conversation with Dr. Allison Roda), from whom we learned how some parents manipulate the Gifted & Talented program in New York City to perpetuate segregated education.

 

But even so, I tried to go into the research with an open mind.  What if it's just the G&T programs as they're set up in New York City that are the problem, not the entire concept of giftedness itself?

 

The good news is that there's a good deal of evidence on what kinds of programs benefit gifted children.  And in this episode I end up arguing that we shouldn't just put gifted children in them, but that all children would benefit from learning using these methods.

 

 
You Are Your Child's Best Teacher
I also wanted to remind you that the You Are Your Child's Best Teacher workshop starts this coming Monday September 13!

 

If you're the parent of a child who's old enough to ask questions through the end of elementary school and you want to:

Support their intrinsic love of learning and confidence as a learner...

WITHOUT doing worksheets or curriculum, (unless your child enjoys doing them!)...

WITHOUT just spending your time on reading and math, but instead...

Using your child's interests as a jumping off point to deep, intrinsically motivated learning...


Then you BELONG in the You Are Your Child's Best Teacher workshop!

 

In just five days you'll see how they really can learn all the traditional school subjects through their own interests, and gain the confidence you need to know you're giving them the best possible start, whether you're:

Homeschooling

Public or private-schooling

Not working or are working full-time outside the home


We'd love to see you in the workshop - and it's totally free!
