This group exists so you don’t have to figure it out alone. In this relaxed, six-session online conversation series, parents and caregivers gather with others who truly understand what life with these complex kids is like. Topics include big emotions, power struggles, motivation, friendships, screen time, perfectionism, and more.

Whether your child was just identified as gifted, you suspect your child is gifted, or you’ve been advocating on your child’s behalf for a while, now, you probably have a lot of questions!

Join MCGT for an informal and informative conversation. You can ask your questions and find out what other families have experienced.

What is a CHAT Night? CHAT (Connect. Help. Advocate. Talk.) Nights are dedicated to informally connecting parents of gifted children, helping them find other parents in similar situations with an ear to listen, experiences to share, and solutions to offer. Each CHAT Night starts with a brief (10-15 minutes) presentation by a facilitator on a designated topic of interest followed by small group discussion. The format of CHAT Nights is intended to be casual, rather than structured. Due to the nature of CHAT nights, they are not recorded.
