What is SENG?
SENG is a national organization whose mission is to empower families and communities to guide gifted and talented individuals to reach their goals: intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. They offer a variety of resources, workshops, and an annual conference. Visit www.sengifted.org for more information. SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of Gifted) groups are discussion/support groups for parents of gifted children.
A great resource is A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children, by James T. Webb, Ph.D., et. al.
