Some comments from parents who attended our first session:

  • Many thanks for the Gifted and Talented Parent Course you’ve made available to us parents. What a thoughtful and generous initiative to open up to us. Your time and generosity is valued.
  • I found tonight’s informal and round-table discussion comforting and informative.
  • I will definitely come to further sessions that are offered.
  • We found last night very beneficial to begin to understand about G&T kids but more so to hear the experiences of other parents and understand that what our son and we are experiencing is very similar to others. It was good to know that the ‘side effects’ are common.
