Parent Webinar: Finding Their Element: Nurturing Gifted Kids’ Passions

Language learning concept: Schoolboy with earphones and speech bubbles around him.

CONTRIBUTORS

Passion changes everything. This is the hypothesis proposed by educational philosopher and researcher Sir Ken Robinson in his book, The Element (2009). Quite simply put, “The Element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. When people arrive at the Element, they feel most themselves, most inspired, and achieve at their highest levels.” In this webinar, we’ll learn why identifying, acknowledging, and nurturing your gifted child’s passions can be the key to guiding them toward not just super achievement, but a more fulfilling and rewarding life in their “element.”
