It was fulfilling to write the two articles featured in the NAGC (National Association of Gifted Children) Parenting for High Potential March 2023 issue. Volunteerism is an important part of my identity and a form of personal care (through community service).
My first short reflection article was written in response to the following prompt: “Is being formally identified as gifted beneficial – within academic, social, medical, and psychological settings?
My second article ” Volunteerism: Maintaining Your Well-being While Supporting Gifted Communities” contains benefits of volunteering, warning signs of burnout, increasing resilience to prevent burnout from parenting a gifted child, increasing resilience to prevent burnout from advocacy effects, and increasing resilience to prevent burnout from volunteering.
