Welcome! We're glad you're here!
You've reached the site of the Eden Prairie chapter of the
Minnesota Council for the Gifted and Talented. We are parents who actively seek ways to help gifted children thrive, to promote educational rigor, and to support families, teachers and community. We are open to all - identified as gifted or not, Eden Prairie schools or not - and we would be happy to have you join us!
Our board meetings are generally held the first Friday of each month and begin at 9:30 a.m. with a topic of discussion that lasts approximately 1 hour,
followed by 30 minutes of gifted support or concerns, before we start the business meeting. Please join us! See
the calendar below for more details.

Time: 9:30-10:30am Speaker / scheduled topic

Topic: Support
Support for Families of Gifted Children
The next EPCGT meeting will be entirely devoted to offering support to parents who may have questions related to their gifted child.
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, meeting with other parents may provide value to you in parenting your child:
• Does your child have unusual emotional depth or exhibit intense feelings and reactions?
• Is your child highly sensitive?
• Is your child idealistic and have they exhibited a sense of justice since an early age?
• Is your child impatient with their self or others' inabilities or slowness?
• Does your child have an advanced comprehension of abstract ideas?
Bring your questions regarding advocating for your child, providing the right amount of academic challenge, developing social and emotional connections, perfectionism, underachievement, summer opportunities and more for discussion.
The Eden Prairie Council for Gifted and Talented (EPCGT) is an all volunteer
parent group offering support for parents of high ability children. The next
EPCGT meeting will be devoted to offering support to parents who may have
questions related to their gifted child.
Everyone (including children) are welcome; you are free to come and leave as your schedule allows.
