National Parenting Gifted Children Week -- July 13-19
The third week in July of each year is National Parenting Gifted Children Week, according to SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of Gifted), a national nonprofit organization and the official sponsor of this week. National Parenting Gifted Children Week, now placed in the National Special Events Registry, is intended to celebrate the joys and challenges of raising, guiding, and supporting bright young minds.
WATG is pleased to support this important reminder and is in the process of developing parent support tools and organization to help parents of gifted children. Check back frequently for more updates and exciting new information.
Also, many parent groups have already formed across the state of Wisconsin. Check with your local school district to see if one has been formed. If not, connect with other parents and start your own to learn about the unique issues you might share in parenting a gifted child!
The WATG Forums are now live!
Another new and exciting feature of the WATG website is our online "E-Community" -- the WATG Forums. The Forums are now up and running, ready to connect all those interested in gifted education. Click on "Forums" to the left and experience a new venue for gifted education discourse in Wisconsin!
