Parenting a Gifted Child
Help your high-ability child thrive — not just achieve
Giftedness beyond test scores, intensity, perfectionism, asynchrony. Support without pushing your child into burnout.
Parenting a gifted or high-ability child is one of the most rewarding and most isolating experiences in modern family life. Other parents don't always understand. Schools don't always stretch. And the children themselves can be their own harshest critics. This intermediate course equips parents of gifted, talented, and high-ability children aged 5–18 with the research-backed knowledge and practical tools to raise children who flourish — not just academically, but emotionally, relationally, and as whole human beings. Drawing on the work of Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth, Deci and Ryan, and leading researchers in gifted education, this course addresses perfectionism, motivation, resilience, achievement culture, and the long game of raising a child whose gifts don't become burdens.
