Raising Gifted and Twice-Exceptional Kids
6 Sessions
Tuesdays, January 12 - February 16, 2027
7:00 - 8:15pm CT Via Zoom
Are you raising a child who feels everything intensely, argues like a trial attorney, asks the biggest, baddest questions at bedtime, and is dazzling and exhausting in equal measures? Parenting a gifted or 2e child can feel overwhelming and sometimes isolating, especially when typical parenting advice doesn’t quite fit your child or your family.
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. Each session is guided by experienced facilitators, but the heart of the group is the parents and caregivers themselves. You’ll have space to ask questions, share experiences, listen, and leave with ideas you can actually use.
Topics include big emotions, power struggles, motivation, friendships, screen time, perfectionism, and more. After each session, participants receive a summary of key insights along with access to a shared folder of practical resources that grows throughout the series.
The Details:
Date: Tuesdays, January 12 through February 16, 2027
Time: 7:00 to 8:15 pm Central Time
Discussion Guides: Carol Malueg and Joan Larson
Cost: $150 per household (includes parenting and caregiving partners).
Contact support@giftedroads.com for scholarship availability or if you’d like to provide a scholarship for another attendee.
Location: Virtual—a Zoom link will be sent to all participants before the first meeting. We encourage you to find a quiet, child-free spot for the discussions as having children present will inhibit some parenting conversations.
Caregiver Conversations are subject to cancellation if minimum enrollment is not met.

Let us know if you have any questions! We’ll be happy to hear from you. You’re welcome here.
