How do I know if my child is gifted? A question that I am still longing for an answer. I am one of the many parents who are curious about child’s giftedness. I actually started to wonder about giftedness when I noticed something extraordinary with my first born. I’ve shared some of it at my post “Challenge with my Fast Learner Child”. I’m glad when I’ve learned that there will be a talk about this.
Giftedness101 talk
The Bestselling Author and Inspirational Speaker Teresa Gumap-as Dumadag is organizing a parenting event dubbed as Giftedness101. The talk will help parents learn more about giftedness and twice exceptionality and thus help them find out if their child is gifted and the necessary first steps to support their child’s special needs.

Speaker Quotes
“When you become a parent, your world expands. When I learned that my eldest child is gifted, I devoured every literature I could find on the topic. I attended whatever seminars, workshops or conventions that fit my already busy schedule. I was eager to learn and I was motivated to learn for the sake of my kids and for my sake,” says Teresa Dumadag.
“This is because I am a parent of gifted children and I need to learn how to support my children’s special needs and to help them reach their full potential,” added Dumadag.
Aside from learning more about giftedness and twice exceptionality, parents will also have the opportunity to meet other parents of gifted and twice exceptional children and thus find a support group who will understand the same challenges and joys that they experience.
I am thankful that they have invited me to be one of their media partners for this event. This will surely impart interesting information and positive ways for the parents of the gifted children.
