For parents

When your child thinks differently, parenting can feel different too.

Does this sound familiar?

Bright child. Difficult moments. Lots of questions.

“They can concentrate for hours on something they love, but five minutes of homework becomes a battle.”
“They avoid things they might not immediately be good at.”
“They tell you school is boring, but their results do not always show what they can do.”
“They ask enormous questions, feel things deeply, or seem much older in one moment and exactly their age in the next.”

These behaviours often make much more sense once you understand giftedness.

Differentiating Advanced Students Through PBL

How to Challenge Advanced Students Through Project-Based Learning

14 October 2026

14:30–15:00 CEST

How do you give advanced students greater depth and challenge without simply giving them more work?

In this practical 30-minute workshop, we’ll explore how Project-Based Learning can be used to differentiate for gifted and advanced students within the regular classroom.

We’ll look at ways to increase depth, complexity, choice and student ownership, with practical ideas teachers can adapt to their own classrooms.

What we’ll explore

  • What meaningful differentiation through PBL can look like
  • How to move beyond ‘more work’ for advanced students
  • Ways to increase depth, complexity and choice
  • How to give advanced students greater ownership of their learning

When Gifted Students Find Their People

Why intellectual peers matter for connection, belonging and motivation

26 October 2026

14:30–15:00 CET

Online

A gifted student can have friends, participate socially and appear completely settled, yet still miss the experience of being truly understood by peers who think, question and learn in similar ways.

In this 30-minute workshop, we’ll explore why access to intellectual peers can matter for gifted students’ sense of belonging, engagement and motivation.

The aim is not to suggest that gifted students should only socialise with other gifted students. Instead, we’ll look at why having opportunities to meet and learn alongside like-minded peers can provide a form of connection that may be difficult to find in the regular classroom.

What we’ll explore

  • The difference between having friends and experiencing intellectual peer connection
  • Why like-minded peers can matter for belonging
  • The relationship between connection, engagement and motivation
  • Practical ways schools can create opportunities for gifted students to meet and learn together

    “Why Should I Bother?”

    How to Motivate Gifted Students

    Bright doesn't always mean easy. Gifted students can struggle with boredom, perfectionism, risk aversion and quiet disengagement, at school, at home and in clubs or teams. Lihi shares practical tools you can start using tomorrow, without theory or complex models.

    Key takeaways

    • Why the “bright equals motivated” myth isn't true.
    • The social, emotional and academic picture of gifted students, and the myths that mislead daily practice.
    • Underachievement: how often it happens, why it happens, and whether it can be reversed.
    • Practical ways to build intrinsic motivation through challenge and self-efficacy.
    • How to move beyond grades and prizes towards purpose, progress and process.

    Who it's for

    Teachers, SEN and gifted coordinators, school leaders, tutors and parents who want practical tools to boost motivation and reduce underachievement.

    Understanding Giftedness

    Why Inclusion Must Also Mean Gifted Learners

    Gifted education is inclusion. In international schools, mobility, language and culture can hide high potential, leading to under-challenge, frustration and disengagement. This session cuts through the myths and shares simple, scalable supports: whole-class moves, targeted extensions and individual plans.

    Key takeaways

    • Why the “they'll be fine on their own” myth isn't true.
    • The social, emotional and academic characteristics of gifted students.
    • Why gifted education belongs in every school inclusion policy.
    • How mobility, language and culture can hide high potential.
    • Fast ways to spot giftedness without over-relying on tests.
    • What to say to staff and families: myths to drop, practices to keep.

    Who it's for

    Teachers, SEN and gifted coordinators, school leaders, tutors and parents who want to understand gifted students better.
