Dr. James DeLisle Speaks at Metea Valley
IPPA PTA will be hosting a presentation by Dr. James Delisle – teacher, author and speaker on gifted children
When: Wednesday, October 5th 2011
Time: 7pm start
Where: Metea Valley High School, 1801 N. Eola Road, Aurora, IL
Cost: $20 early bird via http://ippapta.eventbrite.com ; $25 at the door [cash or checks only]
Please buy your tickets early at: http://ippapta.eventbrite.com
Dr. Jim Delisle will be presenting *Parenting precocious kids: Understanding the ups and downs of growing up gifted. (90 minutes – 2 hours) Parents of gifted children and teens have many questions about how best to meet their intellectual and emotional needs. They want to know what giftedness is and the label’s impact on other family members. They want to know how to advocate for their gifted child in a school setting mired in ‘bringing up the bottom’ rather than ‘raising the bar’ at the top. They want to know how to set expectations that are appropriate and balanced. And they want to know how to juggle the wide range of emotional intensities that often accompanies growing up gifted. This session addresses these and other issues that ‘come with the territory’ in parenting gifted kids. More information can be seen at: http://ipsdweb.ipsd.org/IPPC/Default.aspx/ProjectArrowPTA
