SENG-Model Parent Support Group

For parents of bright, gifted or talented children

In 1981, SENG established guidelines for SENG-Model Parent Support Groups. SENG Model Parent Groups
are structured to bring together 10 to 20 interested parents of gifted and talented children to discuss
such topics as motivation, discipline, stress management, and peer relationships. The co-facilitators of
the group, though they are knowledgeable about parenting and about educating gifted/talented children, do
not attempt to give expert advice to families. Instead their facilitation provides a non-judgmental and
nurturing atmosphere. The parents of the high ability children are themselves a rich resource of information,
and they are able to get fresh ideas from other parents and from A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children, the
book around which the sessions are organized. The groups meet weekly for a set number of weeks – usually 10 weeks.
