"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:
A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him...
a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.

Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating." -Pearl Buck-

Is your child gifted or showing signs of giftedness? Are you a Filipino parent with a gifted or highly talented child located in the Philippines or a Filipino parent raising a Filipino global child from another part of the world? Are you looking for a support group specifically focused on parenting gifted kid/s? This could be the support group for you. This is a newly-formed group but it is our hope that we can grow and learn from each other and that our gifted kids may form wonderful friendships with each other.

"Parenting a gifted child is like living in a theme park of full thrill rides. Sometimes you smile. Sometimes you gasp. Sometimes you scream. Sometimes you laugh. Sometimes you gaze in wonder and astonishment. Sometimes you're frozen in your seat. Sometimes you're proud. And sometimes, the ride is so nerve-wracking, you can't do anything but cry." Carol Strip & Gretchen Hirsh, in Webb, Gore, Amend, & DeVries, A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children






Let us find answers together because the reality is...our society (including us!) is in awe of gifted kids BUT we don't know exactly how to deal with their gifts or what to do with them! Even if we are enlightened and informed, don't you think we still need a community where it's ok to talk about this topic w/o fear of judgment or misunderstanding? Are you looking for a peer group to cater to your gifted child's social needs? Same-special-interest-group for your gifted child perhaps? Who knows? We might just find each other here.

A Response to the "All Children are Gifted" Comment

‎"Giftedness is not ordinary; giftedness is extraordinary; this is the very pith and marrow of the term. Mozart, Shakespeare, Catherine the Great, Martin Luther King and Sylvia Plath were gifted. Like gifted children in our schools, these people... more
