Parent Education Events

Mackintosh Academy faculty and noted experts from the community have a wealth of expertise to share with parents. Our free parent education series is designed to break through the classroom walls and bring their expertise and insights to parents and community members.

Please join us for an enlightening evening to understand how rejection sensitivity affects gifted children and how parents can help!

The emotional experience of rejection is often heightened in gifted students and can be particularly intense for gifted students with ADHD.  This talk will discuss Rejection Sensitivity and the ways in which it can impact your child’s learning and social relationships.  Most importantly, the talk will focus on parenting strategies to help our children weather the rejections, big and small, that are a part of everyday life, while building emotional resilience.

Dr. Katie Bellon is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice and the mother of two Mackintosh alumni. Her practice is focused on learning assessments for children, adolescents, and adults.

Prospective parents are warmly encouraged to join us. Please RSVP here.

Upcoming events in this series will be posted on this page; check back or sign up for our email newsletter to be notified.
