The Murphy-Mesigeier Type Indicator for Children (MMTIC) is the children's version that can be taken by students in 2nd through 12th grade. This presentation will guide you in identifying your child's personality type preferences and how those preferences relate to communication, learning and self-understanding. After signing up, you'll be invited to go online with your child and have them answer the questionnaire. Results will be compiled and available at the presentation. Students take the instrument and an adult will be expected to attend the session.Denver Association for Gifted & Talentedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16802379293548004093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621338398951810292.post-55801830599091390092012-02-20T13:31:00.000-08:002012-02-20T13:44:10.456-08:00Divergent Thinking - Strategies that Work!There'll be a presentation on Divergent Thinking - Strategies for your children that work!<br /><br />on Thursday March 15<br />at Carson Elementary, 5420 E First Avenue, Denver<br />6.30 - 8.00 pm<br /><br />Also presented will be information on free web resources that your children can use to blow the socks of their teachers with book reports and projects!<br /><br />This is a free event and hope to see you there!Denver Association for Gifted & Talentedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16802379293548004093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621338398951810292.post-32757618407438829142012-01-16T11:45:00.000-08:002012-01-16T11:48:27.930-08:00Tuesday Talkfest - January 24We hope you'll join us for our next Talkfest at 10.30am at Panera's, 2466 S.

<br />
<br />Gifted children are expensive and time-consuming. They usually need less sleep than you do, ask more questions than you can answer, want 100 percent of your attention 24 hours a day, have obsessive hobbies, react intensely to everything, endlessly long for a best friend who understands them completely, and hold perfectionistic standards for themselves and you. We will be discussing such issues as coping with the characteristics of giftedness; siblings and birth order; understanding introversion; underachievement; and keys to successful parenting.
<br />
<br />All Welcome!! This event is free!
