Free Ebook For Parents of Gifted Kids
|
Summit Center is part of a collaborative effort to provide a new free ebook written specifically for parents of gifted children. "Helping Gifted Kids Thrive: Insights From The Experts" takes a unique approach. Child & Family Therapist Tina Harlow interviewed 26 experts across the field of giftedness to ask them one question: "What one thing can parents do now to help their gifted child to thrive in the future?"
This question is based on the worry that we see in many parents of gifted children today. Parents worry about the future and often question their own parenting abilities.
Dr. Dan Peters, Dr. Susan Daniels, and Dr. Stephen Chou all contributed.

"
Moms - don't put your own body down in front of your daughter... These things get very quickly internalized by girls. An enormous percentage of adult women engage in "fat talk." You can't truly tell girls to stop doing it if you do it yourself.

Dr. Dan Featured on Tilt Parenting Podcast
|
 Dr. Dan Peters
had the opportunity to be a
guest on the Tilt Parenting Podcast, hosted by Debbie Reber, an author, speaker, coach, and parent of what she calls "an atypical kid." Tilt Parenting is aimed at helping parents raising differently-wired kids do so from a place of confidence, connection, and joy. Debbie is passionate about the idea that being differently-wired isn't a deficit - it's a difference. She wants to change the way difference is perceived in the world so that exceptional kids can thrive in their schools, in their families, and in their lives.
In the podcast, Dr. Dan talks about his work and his mission to support parents in raising children with purpose and intention. He and Debbie look at the Parent Footprint Awareness Training, a virtual online experience that supports parents in guiding their child's future by becoming aware of their own parenting beliefs.
