Parent Webinar,  Balancing Brilliance: Nurturing Executive Function and Mental Health in Gifted Kids

September 10, 2024

6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Being the parent of a gifted child comes with its own set of unique challenges. Gifted children often possess incredible intellect and potential, but sometimes struggle with their executive function skills - the ability to plan, organize, manage time, and complete tasks effectively. Understanding and nurturing these essential skills is crucial not only for unlocking their full potential and setting them up for success, but also for ensuring mental health and well-being. This transformative hour-long webinar is specifically designed to empower parents with the knowledge and skills needed to better understand and help their gifted children develop and enhance their executive function abilities. Led by Dr. Erika Lucas and supported by current research, this webinar is a valuable resource for any parent seeking to navigate the intricacies of their gifted child's executive function.
