Gifted people need this. Thank you!
After finding out my 8-year-old son was gifted this summer, and suspecting my 4-year-old and 20-month-old daughters are gifted as well, I’ve been desperate for resources to learn how support my intense household. So thankful for the practical help and understanding this podcast offers. Thank you so much for being willing to share all these things, as it feels tricky to find resources to handle and support giftedness. Keep going! What you’re doing is so valuable!
I like this
Fantastic! This is what I needed to hear several years ago. Over the past year through therapy, psychologist/educational testing, and lots and lots of reading my husband and I have begun to understand this concept as better support our daughter. Thank you Mark! Can’t wait for the next episode.
Great podcast that really explore the joy, pain, and everything in between of being gifted.
