Guidelines for Parents of Young Children attending Beyond IQ

We love children! This conference is as much for the children as it is for the parents. Beyond IQ features a Children's Program designed for gifted children ages 6-12. Parents of children over 4-1/2 and under 6 may also consider its suitability (see the Guidelines for Beyond IQ Children's Sessions).

Children who are too young to participate in the Children's Program may be brought to the conference at no charge. Little ones attending may attend adult sessions or hang out in the Games Room with their parents.

In the spirit of making the conference enjoyable for all, we request that parents honor the following conference requirements:

• "Parents," as described on this page, may include a parent, a legal guardian, or an adult designated by the child's parent or legal guardian and so noted at registration.
  
  
• Parents must remain with their younger children at all times.
  
  
• Parents are asked to remove a younger child who is noisy or otherwise disruptive in any session or room in order to respect the others engaging in the activity, and to be prepared to offer their child something that is more appealing to them.
  
  
• Parents are encouraged to bring plenty of things to occupy a younger child happily through the course of the day and sessions.
  
  
• Neither Gifted Conference Planners, its staff or volunteers, or the conference facility assume any responsibility for the child, or any liability for any harm that the child may suffer (or cause!)

Happily absorbed and occupied children of all ages (especially the youngest ones) make the conference the best experience for everyone.

A person's a person, no matter how small!
