Hi Tammy - I attended the NAGC (National Association for Gifted Children - www.nagc.org) national conference in November. It happened that it was held this year about 5 miles from where we live. Our local gifted org sponsored a parent's day and kid's program one day of the conference.

I found it very valuable. Actually, the part that was the most value was just getting to chat with parents about this OPENLY without any of the snippiness I percieve on this topic in the real world. It was much more like the tone of this board. In our area, it seems like that GT label is such a status symbol and it's hard to really talk to people about it.

The kid's program was kind of chaotic, but DS7 did enjoy it with only a couple minor complaints. And one of his "teachers" for the day was very sweet to him. You can just tell which adults "get" GT kids.
