Gifted Parenting - Parenting a Gifted Child

 
Chronicling my journey as the mother of a gifted child.

Alex the Parrot

March 20th 2009 09:00
This is a 2-year old clip which was aired on Good Morning America about an amazing parrot named Alex. As we all know, parrots can mimic words and sounds. I had a parrot when I was young, she was white and the only thing she learned to say was her name - Sharon. But Alex was different, it appears he can actually "think." Sadly, Alex died in 2007. I know I can't embed this video here, so here's the link to the clip.

Watch This

February 18th 2009 15:09
Each child is different and as parents we must learn how to nurture each child according to their personalities. For example, being overly critical to a shy child will further cause that child to withdraw inward. On the other hand, showering too much undeserved praise on a child also has negative effects. I found this touching movie that is especially meant for parents and educators. The movie is about honoring a child's individuality and finding the right balance to further nurture that child. Please, watch this.

This website has lots of educational vidoes for and by teachers and parents. Videos are arranged by age group, subject matter and office title/position. Browse through their collection of videos by visiting their site here.

Dadsense

This is another video of the very funny Anita Renfroe; it's a response to The Mom Song which became very popular indeed. This time, she condenses what dads tell their kids most of the time. So funny and yet so true...

The Mom Song

November 15th 2008 00:29
This song has been going around the net for some time now and of course I'd like to share it with you. The song is titled "Momsense" by Anita Renfroe, sung to the tune of the William Tell Overture. I think this song is brilliant and hilarious; it encapsulates what moms usually tell their kids as they grow up. Here it is:

"A Bride for Henry"

What do you do if, on the day of your wedding, your groom fails to show up? This classic film which was released in 1937 stars Anne Nagel (as Shiela, the jilted bride), Henry Mollison (Eric, the MIA groom) and Warren Hull (as Henry, Shiela's lawyer and stand-in groom who is secretly in love with her).

Don't you just love these classic romcoms?

9-11

September 12th 2008 01:29
It's been 7 years since the tragic incident occurred...a fateful day that shook the whole world. Everyone watched transfixed, helpless, lost for words, mixed emotions raging in our hearts. That day, thousands were lost - fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, friends.....heroes. As we look back on 9/11, let us say a prayer for all the victims and the grieving families they left behind. And let us make a solemn promise that each day, in our own little way, to help make this world a safer place to live in, for us, for our children and the future generation.

Here's a touching video of Kristi Nelson's song - "Mama Will Hold Me"
