    Some parents who blog are very excited to be participating in the Parenting the Gifted Blog Tour 2012 from July 15-21st. This blog tour is organized by parents who met on The Well Trained Mind Message boards and who would like to help celebrate SENG’s National Parenting Gifted Children Week 2012.

    This blog tour is not officially associated with The Well Trained Mind or SENG, but we are parents with experience and insights to share.  We come from different parts of the country, different school choices, and different social and economic backgrounds, but we all have one thing in common. We know that parenting a gifted child can sometimes be as challenging as it is rewarding.  If you have ever woken up at 3 AM in the morning wondering “What am I going to do with this child?” then this blog tour is for you!

    From July 15-21 the Parenting the Gifted Blog Tour will discuss some of the most pertinent issues facing gifted education today:

    On July 15th Childhood Inspired will write about “Loneliness as a Gifted Parent”.   Our Roxaboxen Adventure will discuss “Identifying Gifted Minority Students”.

    On July 16th  Sceleratus  will share “Don’t Panic! Musings about realizing that your child’s learning pattern is ahead of schedule.”

    On July 17th   Teaching My Baby To Read will feature “When School Isn’t Enough; Fanning the Flames of Learning Afterschool”.

    On July 18th   Homeschooling: or Whoever's Home  will write about “A Broader Definition of Success for Gifted Children”.

    On July 19th  A Treehouse Education  will feature “2E Issues”.   Homeschool in Florida  will share “Get Out of Your Own Way: How to Listen to the Needs of Your Gifted Child”.

    On July 20th  Making Music With Kids  will discuss “Finding a Good Fit for a Preschooler You Suspect is Gifted”. Barely Educational will offer “Worrying Too Much and Overanalyzing Parenting”

    On July 21st Teaching My Baby to Read will feature guest posts.  Dancing With Dragons  will write about “Teaching the Visual Spatial Learner: When Your Child Thinks in Pictures”.

    Teaching my Baby to Read still has room for more guest posts, so if you have something on your heart that you would like to share, please email Jenny via Teachingmybabytoread at gmail dot com.

    Ahh... It looks like this rookie blog tour listed above is based on something that's happening over at the SENG website. http://www.sengifted.org/npgc-week-2012/2012-npgcw-week-blog-tour

    The one I mentioned above is some of the well trained mind accelerated learner mamma's making a blog tour celebrating SENG's national parenting the gifted week. I see that it's modeled after a blog tour that SENG hosts that week.

    Update.

    Both blog tours are happening.

    I didn't write them. I'm going to write one though on Friday.

    Here's the two I liked the best so far. But they all ring a little familiar.
