At Winslow Institute, we recognize that effective parenting is intentional and raising a gifted child can differ from traditional parenting models. Our specialized approach recognizes the unique needs and challenges faced by gifted families.
Parent-Child Coaching
In-Person and Remote Options Available
In a one-on-one setting, your child will cultivate essential inner strengths such as self-awareness and self-management. They’ll gain the ability to navigate challenges independently while also learning when and how to seek help.
Every gifted child is one-of-a-kind. We will work closely with you to dispel myths about giftedness and create a customized plan to meet your child’s unique needs. You will strengthen your parenting skills and learn ways to build essential networks for your child.
