Introducing the Parenting the Gifted Blog Tour!
I am thilled to be joining a fantastic group of homeschooling parents and bloggers to bring you the Parenting the Gifted Blog tour. This international blog tour is organized by parents who met on a wonderful hang out (and, amazing resource for all questions relating to Homeschooling), The Well Trained Mind Message boards.
All of us come from different parts of the world, different school choices, and different social and economic backgrounds, but we all have one thing in common. We all know that parenting a gifted child can be rewarding, but can also be difficult.
If you have ever woken up at 3 AM in the morning wondering “What am I going to do with this child?” then this blog tour is for you!
From June 14th-21st the Parenting the Gifted Blog Tour will discuss some of the most pertinent issues facing gifted education today:
On June 14th Sceleratus Classical Academy will kick off our tour with “Comparison is the Thief of Joy.”
On June 15th Only Passionate Curiosity will share “Maturity vs. Ability; It’s a Big Deal”. Childhood Inspired will write about “Nurturing Other Aspects of Giftedness Besides Academics”.
On June 16th Teaching My Baby to Read will feature “Harry Potter, Muggles, Mudbloods, and Giftedness in Family Trees”.
On June 17th Homeschooling: or Who’s Ever Home will write about “Nurturing Musical Talent in the Gifted Child”.
On June 18th Strader Spiel will discuss “Homeschooling a Gifted Child with Special Needs” and The Washington Collation of Gifted Education will share “I’m an Advocate and So Are You”.
On June 19th Northwood Classical Academy will write about “The Making of a Mathlete”.
On June 20th Homeschooling Hatters will share “Just Let Him Be a Kid”, and Sceleratus Classical Academy will end our tour with a guest post titled “When a Flower Blooms”.
This is going to be a fun and informative Blog Tour. I hope you take some time to visit the Blogs participating, and find some ideas, support and resources you can use over the next couple weeks!
congratulations on your nomination, you totally deserve it!
The Parenting the Gifted blog tour sounds like a wonderful idea, I’ll have to tell my sister, who doesn’t homeschool but it is strongly suspected her two boys might be gifted, I keep hoping she will homeschool them one day 😀 but I am sure she will find lots of food for thought, even though she’s not homeschooling. Thanks for sharing!
You know, I’m not sure if mine is gifted either, LOL. But- these bloggers I am teaming up with are all over the spectrum, some are new-ish, like Me, and others have gifted kids who are in college at 14. Many have gone through testing and evaluations. There really will be so much good information coming out of these bloggers, I really recommend checking them out!
