• Being a well-informed and well-equipped parent to nurture high-potentials

How do we achieve that:

• Knowledge sharing, facilitation and support by trained personnel in Education of the Gifted
• Guidance by experts at JPIP
• Experience sharing by parents – theoretical knowledge is blended with practical implementation through interactive sessions
• Various media are used to deliver the content of the session
• Discussion-sharing part of the sessions gives parent cross-cultural exposure of nurturing high-potentials with the emphasis on Indian parenting values.

Both the groups give a platform for parents sailing in the same boat to acquire knowledge, exchange support, making this Parenting Journey more enjoyable and less bumpy…
