So these are things you talk through and you talk about probability.
You talk about the reality of, for instance, this latest incident in Vegas.
It's very difficult to cope with as a highly intense person, especially a child.
And
I think the defense there is the probability of that actually happening is pretty low.
It did happen.
There may be another time it will happen again.
But the probability of you being involved in that sort of thing is very low.
Now, the other piece to it is they still have to understand and be able to cope with how the world operates.
There's a high sense of justice.
There's a high sense of empathy with gifted children.
And that is another challenge in terms of helping them to cope with a world that sometimes is just not very fair.
I know
Yeah, we have facilitators across the country and even internationally.
And what we generally like, if a parent is interested, they should first contract their local school and maybe see if they are their local gifted coordinator, see if there's anything available.
If they don't have anything available, they can look at the state site that may have some information.
Because we run groups here and there, but it really depends on how many parents.
They generally like to have a group of parents together rather than just a few
So getting out there and finding a number of like parents who are interested and then contacting SANG, contact me, contact the office.
And we have facilitators all over the place that we can alert and say, hey, there's a group forming in, let's say, Buffalo, New York, for instance, that would like to be facilitated.
