GHF® Choices: DIY Education
December 2020 - Understanding Asynchrony
|
|
Do you have the kid that you consider "wise beyond her years," when, in reality, she is just verbally precocious and not actually emotionally capable of digesting the drama people feel comfortable sharing with her? Or maybe, you have the "if he can do calculus, why can't he brush his teeth?" model. Only two things are certain: if you live with gifted kids, you live with asynchrony, and the firmer grasp you have on what that means, the better for your family!
|
-
Wed, Dec 9, 12pm PT Information Download: How does asynchrony affect your child and family at large? Join in this overview discussion with Carol and Kasi, as they define internal and interpersonal asynchrony, and lay out the month's focus on living with these developmental imbalances.
-
Thurs, Dec 17, 5pm CT Ages and Stages: Join in this live conversation to discuss how asynchrony manifests at different stages of development, and the troubling fact that most teachers are not trained to recognize even the most obvious signs. As with most things gifted & 2e, it all comes down to how we handle the complexities so they don't turn into liabilities. Carol's got you!
-
Tues, Dec 22, 8am PT Self-Care & Family Care: This week, our live discussion tackles the active work of managing expectations - some asynchronies don't just magically go away in adulthood! How do we deal with that? What are some of our own and how did they effect our outcomes? How does our past creep into our current parenting and family dynamics? This is a big one, and you're in Kasi's capable hands!
-
Tues, Dec 29, 5pm CT Strategic Collaborations: We wrap up the month with a deep dive into the tools at our disposal, from professional support in the form of OT, therapy & social skills groups, to finding community and fostering intergenerational relationships, and affording as much opportunity to be free from peer comparison and to revel in strengths. Carol helps you put it all together!

Dec 14, 5pm PT: S1, Ep8: GHF® Expert Series: Professionals - Carol Malueg interviews Paula Prober |
We talk a lot about how to support our gifted children here at GHF. This month we are practicing self-care and talking about our needs as gifted adults with the amazing Paula Prober, author of Your Rainforest Mind, who will urge us to explore our own ever-evolving identities, intensities, and multipotentialities. Paula will remind us that self-discovery is an ongoing journey, and to “accept who you are in all of your curious, passionate, deep-diving intensities.” YES!
