Welcome my dear Substack friends.
I’m excited to be introducing you to this wonderful conversation.
Many thanks to my sister, Karen, for being willing to talk with me about her experiences parenting a gifted son.
We cover superb topics as Karen retells what it was like discovering her child was gifted, the many ups and downs navigating the education system, and the pivotal decisions she made in the process.
This chat is full of wisdom. It gives hope, provides validation, and illuminates the convoluted yet rewarding path many parents face while raising their gifted children.
So without further ado, let’s get the conversation started…
