2E PG Parent Support Group (IN PERSON)

  • Midwest Academy for Gifted Education, NFP 1164 North Milwaukee Avenue Chicago, IL, 60642 United States (map)

Parenting kids is hard, parenting gifted kids is harder, and parenting 2E and or PG children is extremely hard! If you want to receive support with parenting your gifted child, please join us. Come meet with others who are also seeking support. Many of the struggles around perfectionism, anxiety, are shared among the gifted. We collect topics for input at registration, and will pick one or two topics per discussion, along with making time for everyone saying what they need support with the most and others helping troubleshoot the challenge.

Our community has asked us that we host this parent support group. The group will be hosted by our Director, Judy Wahl, who is a SENG facilitator. This will be in person, and no part of this will be recorded. Limit 10 participants with a waitlist. You do not need to have a MAGE student to attend.

The group will meet for 45 minutes per week, over 4 alternating weeks starting on January 13 and we will add additional weeks if there is interest.
