Parent Workshop: “Is My Child Gifted?”

This workshop follows the event “Is My Child Gifted?” (May 5, 2026) and offers participants the opportunity to explore key ideas from that session in greater depth and apply them to their own family situation. Space is limited.

Many (highly) gifted children surprise us with their unique ways of thinking, feeling, and perceiving the world. At the same time, this very quality often raises questions, causes uncertainty, or presents challenges in everyday life.

This workshop helps you understand your own child even better and gain confidence in addressing their unique needs.

Here’s what participants can expect:
• Insight into typical challenges in everyday (school) life with (highly) gifted children
• Strategies for dealing more calmly with perfectionism, frustration, and intense emotions
• Support in recognizing your child’s needs more clearly
• Practical ideas for everyday family life
• Opportunities to exchange ideas with other parents

In a trusting and supportive atmosphere, the focus is on the participants’ questions and experiences. The goal is to empower parents in their role and help them feel more confident in interacting with their child.

Tanja Sauer is a teacher, gifted education specialist, author, and mother of a gifted child. In her work, she combines the latest scientific findings with practical ideas for children and families.

The workshop can be attended independently of the main event. For participants in the main event, it offers the opportunity to delve deeper into the content and apply it effectively in their daily lives.

We look forward to your participation!

This new event series explores how early childhood experiences have a lasting impact on how we feel, think, and act in the future: in our relationships, in our attitudes toward others, and in the way we raise our children. In this series, researchers explain how old patterns continue to shape our lives—and provide parents and caregivers with valuable insights on how to break these patterns and adapt to the changing demands of today’s world.
