Developmental friendship patterns
Understanding the kinds of friendship, the order in which these skills are
developed in childhood, and the confusion caused by the fact that friendship
seems to be strongly linked to mental age not physical. Often YA have
experienced severe friendship trauma when the kind of friendship they were
practicing was not the same as their agemates.
Dating
A particular sort of friendship with some fascinating
biological and social factors influencing it. I will describe some of these
factors and how they contribute to dating confusion. We will also discuss
dating and mating safety issues. Not a "sex ed"
course on the biology but instead on the psychology and sociology. [though I will provide websites for the biology information]
Identity management
Who am I , who do I want to be, providing a broader range of factors to include
in your search to identify who you are and guide you in shaping your future
self.
Understanding others
As part of identifying ourselves we learn of the many
varieties of people and can try to use the process to describe those close to
us and predict areas of agreement or confusion.
Gifted/ Intelligence 101
What does "“gifted"” mean? What are IQ's and
IQ tests? What do we mean by Highly Gifted or Profoundly Gifted?
Gifted 102
American social structure doesn't currently have a healthy
functioning system for the gifted, especially for supporting and meeting the
needs of gifted children. We will discuss the consequences of this and what we
can do to find a satisfying place in our society.
