About The Event
AAGTS is thrilled to present a third session with Gifted Guru Lisa Van Gemert -- this time for parents and teachers! This FREE TO MEMBERS expert webinar addresses a perennial concern with gifted kids: underachievement.
The Little Engine that Wouldn't: Underachievement & Risk Avoidance in Gifted Youth
They’ve got the smarts, and sometimes even the desire and drive, yet somehow they never get the train up the mountain. They’ve got the ability, yet if they can’t do it right the very first time, they don’t even want to try. What’s going on? Join us as Lisa Van Gemert, the Gifted Guru and author of Perfectionism: A Practical Guide to Managing Never Good Enough, explores exactly why our gifted youth struggle with risk avoidance and underachievement. Take away practical ideas, and maybe even a little paradigm shift.
AAGTS and NMAG members can participate at no cost! Non-members may join or pay a one-time fee to attend the zoom session.
One lucky participant will win a free copy of Lisa Van Gemert's book entitled: Perfectionism: A Practical Guide to Managing Never Good Enough!
