Calling all Parents – Free Parent Conference!

Saturday, May 22, 2010

8:30 am - 2:00 pm

Topics relating to giftedness in teens and tweens (ages 9-18 years old) will include keys to developing talent, searching for balance, planning a road map to college, technology & education, perfectionism, social interaction, social networking, assessments, social and emotional needs, communication, and relationships.

I will speak about Understanding Emotional Turmoil in Gifted Teenagers from 10:50 - 11:50 am

Adolescence is a distinct developmental state of life when all teens struggle to develop a unique sense of self and begin the long process of separating from their family. The chaos teenagers create with their moodiness and intensity is actually an important part of their development. How parents can help their teenager grow without getting involved in risk-taking behavior will be presented and illustrated with examples from my book: “Early Adolescence and the Search for Self: A Developmental Perspective.”
