Community Education Series: “Riding the Waves through Gifted Pre/Teen Years”

NOVA School’s free-to-the-public Community Education Series welcomes the return of Patricia Gatto-Walden, PhD to discuss “Riding the Waves through Gifted Pre/Teen Years”.

Teen years are complex and being gifted/highly capable adds unique dimensions to one’s inner experience. Specifically, intensity increases throughout adolescents, ushering in greater complexity, sensitivity and stress from the inside out. From a holistic and developmental perspective learn the inner dynamics specific to gifted youth, their overwhelming needs and concerns, and how to effectively help them navigate through these turbulent years. While addressing social unease, anxiety, perfectionism, relationship struggles and idealism, we will also focus on what is particularly joyful throughout these years and how to support their progression towards health and well-being.

Seating is limited. Questions about the event can be sent to nova@novaschool.org
