Web Resources for Parents of Gifted
Did you know that being a parent of gifted learners is not easy? In fact, sometimes it’s incredibly hard. I used to think something was wrong with me because I just couldn’t understand why my child acted so differently from other children his age. I mean, I knew he was smart. But, it seemed so strange for a 3 year old to write in perfect cursive without being taught to do so. And, what 6 y.o. reads encyclopedias for entertainment? Those things… are just… well, weirdly, yet excitedly, different. Right? And, the emotional differences were far different, and I simply didn’t understand it. I used to feel so very alone. I used…

Little Man also loves listening to classical music. In…

Art Supplies to Keep on Hand for Creative Thinking Kids
My son has always loved to draw. Which is why I always try to keep art supplies on hand for him. From the earliest ages as soon as he could grasp a pencil he began drawing nearly everything he sees. For years we kept a stockpile of paper from office recycling bins. We had friends donate to us boxes, and boxes of office paper because he had an insatiable need to draw. He’d literally go through reams of it far faster than you can imagine. As if keeping him supplied in the paper was enough! The same is true of crayons, colored pencils, and pencils. He used them down until…
