From the GHF Board: The Evolution of Gifted Parents

In this periodic installment from members of the GHF Board of Directors, get to know the board and why they are passionate about GHF.

This month, hear from Anne Beneventi, longtime board member and advocate for gifted children, as she discusses how the parents of gifted children have changed over the years. Click here to read her thoughts and experiences.

Dear GHF:

Since the beginning of the school year, my nine-year-old son has been acting out in his classes. At first, he looked forward to learning, but as time has progressed, his behavior has deteriorated. I have spoken with the teacher and with his psychologist, and both have suggested behavioral approaches at home and in the classroom, such as rewards and consequences. The thing is, he doesn’t act like that anywhere else, but they don’t believe me. They just want me to fix him. I don’t think he’s broken, but I don’t know what else to do. Can you help?

Gifted homeschooling can feel lonely at times. Other families don't necessarily understand your 2e child. Your child doesn't connect with kids her age. Resources and support can be difficult to find. That's where GHF's Regional Contacts come in. To learn about our regional contacts, how to find them, and how to become one, please click here.
