Guided Discussion Groups For Parents at the Sage School

The Sage School in Foxborough will host a kick-off meeting on Oct. 27.

The Sage School, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Association for Gifted Education (MAGE), is hosting a new program designed to assist parents.

Guided discussion groups, led by two experienced facilitators, will provide information and parenting strategies related to the social and emotional needs of gifted children.

The program will focus on what parents can do at home to improve their parenting skills as they relate to their bright children. Parents who have participated in similar programs have become helpful allies as they learn to work in partnership with teachers to jointly meet the needs of these students.
