Is your Child Gifted? Learn more about Giftedness and Twice Exceptionality on February 25

How do parents know if their child is gifted? What are the signs?

Bestselling Author and Inspirational Speaker Teresa Gumap-as Dumadag is organizing a parenting event dubbed as Giftedness101 on February 25, 2017, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Playworks, SM Aura Campus, Taguig City. The talk will help parents learn more about giftedness and twice exceptionality and thus help them find out if their child is gifted and the necessary first steps to support their child’s special needs. 

“When you become a parent, your world expands. When I learned that my eldest child is gifted, I devoured every literature I could find on the topic. I attended whatever seminars, workshops or conventions that fit my already busy schedule. I was eager to learn and I was motivated to learn for the sake of my kids and for my sake,” says Teresa Dumadag.

“This is because I am a parent of gifted children and I need to learn how to support my children’s special needs and to help them reach their full potential,” added Dumadag.

The topics to be covered are the following:

·         Are all children gifted? What does it mean to be gifted?

·         What are the signs of giftedness or twice exceptionality, especially in young children?

·         What are the advantages of finding out if your child is gifted or not?

·         What are the advantages of hands-on parenting to the gifted or twice exceptional child?

·         What should you do when you see signs of giftedness in your child?

·         What are the advantages of homeschooling gifted or twice exceptional kids?

·         How do you homeschool a gifted child?

Aside from learning more about giftedness and twice exceptionality, parents will also have the opportunity to meet other parents of gifted and twice exceptional children and thus find a support group who will understand the same challenges and joys that they experience.

The registration fee is Php 750, inclusive of light snacks and handouts. The Early Bird Rate of Php 650 is available until February 14, 2017.
