PARENT SEMINAR
ONLINE: Ask a Psychologist - mental health in gifted children
Tuesday, 12th August, 2025, 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Doctor Alison Brown and Victoria Poulos
Parenting a gifted child comes with unique joys and challenges, particularly when it comes to their mental health and overall well-being. In this session, along with Dr Alison Brown, a psychologist who specialises in gifted education, we will explore key issues that affect a student’s mental health.
Gifted children display thought processes, social interactions and emotional responses well beyond their years, and often in far greater proportion than would be expected. Regular social situations and interactions with other children often result in misunderstandings, frustrations or angry outbursts. Managing daily routines and workload often results in extreme feelings of frustration and exhaustion due to perfectionism and unrealistic expectations.
Learn practical strategies to support your child’s emotional resilience, encourage healthy routines, and navigate challenges that may arise. This session is designed to equip parents with tools and insights to help their gifted child thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
