I was going to buy the book called "Parenting Beyond Belief" do you recommend it?
We tried "Meetup" once, but it wasn't a gifted group, just a playgroup. I was very out of place, about 15 years older than any other moms and significantly more educated, it was in a small city in the South.
But, we've moved and a gifted group might be a good try sometime. I did have the kids join MENSA to try to meet people there.
I would be interested to see if others have had success with "meetup".
