Gifted Parent Groups: The Seng Model

Gifted Parent Groups: The SENG Model Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted Parents of gifted children face many strange and disturbingly unfamiliar issues because their children are different from seemingly "average" children. But when they talk with other parents who are dealing with similar situations, they can find comfort, reassurance, and alternative ways of handling particular problems. This book describes how parents, counselors, and teachers can form a guided support group using the well-established SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of Gifted) model in order to better understand and help their gifted children.
