Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 319: Dr. Gail Post on the Gifted Parenting Journey and Support for Families of Gifted Children · 21 Feb 2023 podcast

I think it's one of the saddest things is that you see people driving around with bumper stickers saying, my student's an honor student, or you have parents all over Facebook or Instagram sharing what seems like kind of routine accomplishments, but good for their kids, right?

And good for them.

But we can't do that as easily because then we're perceived as elitist or snobby or tiger moms or not caring about other kids.

Like there's this stigma around

against sharing some of these accomplishments.

And some of them are really remarkable, what some of these kids do.

here.

Glad to be here.

Well, the why has really informed how I got involved in this.

So background, I'm a clinical psychologist in practice for like 35 years, work with teens, adults, parents, families, all that stuff.

But my interest in giftedness was sparked by several convergences of events.

One was as I was getting more involved in private practice, really bright, high achieving people, and they had unique issues.

I was also tending to see a lot of folks with ADHD and other complicating factors.

But the biggest thing was really raising two gifted kids that it up to how much advocacy work is necessary.

And I got involved with a gifted parenting group that was within our school district, ended up co-chairing that.

We advocated for a lot of things with the schools and teachers.

Got some things accomplished, things like universal screening, all of that.

As my youngest was about to graduate, because now we're going on almost 10 years of my blog, I started a blog, which wasn't so much about my own stuff or my kids, but more about social and emotional issues and advocacy and parenting.

And I just felt like I needed to advocate in some other way.

So I continued to write and did workshops and all that.
