Webinar Description: "Anxiety is the most common mental health problem experienced by children. When left untreated, it causes anxiety-based disorders ranging from simple adjustment disorders to more debilitating maladies such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The relationship between anxiety and giftedness is largely unexplored in the literature and often overlooked or misconstrued in clinical practice, with potentially disastrous results. Truly insidious, with bona fide indicators eluding easy diagnosis, especially for the gifted, anxiety-based disorders are the 'elephant in the living room': a malady that eludes easy diagnosis, masked entirely or eclipsed by more obvious signs of distress such as perfectionism, underachievement, hyper-vigilance and depression. This interactive presentation provides parents, educators and mental-health professionals with information about the etiology of and powerful strategies for combating anxiety-based disorders."
Please join us and invite your partner, caretaker, friends to participate in this information-rich session.

Gifted in France is a loi 1901 non-profit association. GiF does not endorse speakers or their material, but aims to provide a wide variety of ideas and discussions about the educational, emotional and social needs of the gifted and twice-exceptional population. In addition to meetings for parents, GiF organizes creativity and science workshops for kids, such as the Little Mad Scientists' Club for children 5 to 8 year-old. Furthermore, GiF is the main organizer for the annual Paris Spelling Bee, which is a community-wide enrichment event open to children in CE2-4ème. We are thankful to The American Library in Paris for their collaboration and to The American University of Paris for hosting the Bee. Membership for GiF is attached, it costs 30 euros per family, per year.
As always, thank you for your support.
Best regards,
