Supporting Your Child to Develop Pride in Their High Learning Potential Identity – Alex Hendra – Parent Session

Parent Session

Does your child with high learning potential struggle with feelings of being isolated and different from their peers? Do they worry about being “weird” or “nerdy”? Maybe they are also disabled or neurodivergent and wonder where they fit in the high learning potential community and wider world? This session will help you think about how you can support your child to feel proud of their high learning potential identity. It will take you on a whistle stop tour of how pride in high learning potential fits into wider rights movements led by neurodivergent and disabled leaders…and give you some top tips for how to support your child to a place where they want to shout from the rooftops about their wonderful differences.

Session Materials: pens and paper
