We all know that the learning environment can greatly affect a child's ability to reach his or her maximum potential. Parents with access to money & means can reach out to find that environment. Yet the gifted community does not actively provide a solid support system for parents who do not have these resources. A child can be greatly limited by his/her parents, even when those parents are willing to be highly engaged. As a community we should embrace & mentor those parents. I think it would be a huge benefit to the gifted community as a whole if each of us actively mentored just 1 parent who needed it.
