I love when people share experiences, resources, etc. that help our children. Thought I would share my experience at a conference I am at called Learning & the Brain. Not geared towards gifted kids but it has been one of the most insightful conferences I have ever been to. The focus of this year's conference in San Francisco is on motivation, mindset and there is more of a focus on k-12 school children. Carol Dweck, Joshua Aaronson, and some amazing speakers presented on how you motivate children, what does growth mindset really mean, etc. I went in somewhat skeptical but I am already planning on coming back next year. They sell audio-visual recordings if you are interested. And no, I am not part of this program smile but it really helped provide some additional skills I can use to help my kids. http://www.learningandthebrain.com/

Pretty much everyone I know who has attended has found it extremely informative and useful. And no, I'm not part of their program, either!
