I am a Christian, however all are welcome, as long as you won't mind if prayer support is offered to those who want it. Anything pertaining to this subject (ADHD, homeschooling, etc.) may be discussed. Anything goes, except no profanity or rudeness please.

We minister to one another through prayer/praise and encouragement. This group is a safe haven for buying/selling and letting your hair down. If you want or need someone to stand by your side, in the trenches, hand in hand, never letting you travel alone- This is the place for you! Abundant Joy!

I want this list to be for discussing gifted homeschooling and what works for you or what doesnt. Do you know of some really great resource or ideas? Do you make up your own curriculum for your gifted child? Do you have a gifted child and need some ideas or have questions?

Everyone who wants to give their child "more" is welcome, but the focus will be on challenging gifted kids.

We hope that you will feel free to discuss any and all gifted-related topics. Also, you can feel free to talk about your kids without anyone thinking you're bragging or simply being a proud parent. We know better.

Tell a friend about Gifted-LDS-hs! Then come and share your day with us.

We welcome members worldwide, whether their children are at school or educated at home. There are special challenges in ensuring an appropriate education for our children. The idea that a child can be gifted and yet have a special need is a concept still in its infancy in the UK! The challenge can feel insurmountable to both child and parent.

We aim to be a safe, caring environment where all feel free to share their experiences and gain mutual support. Lacking face to face contact, we have to be extremely courteous, respectful and tolerant of all. Flaming will not be tolerated. Those who do not respect this will be banned from the list.

For reasons of privacy messages will not be archived. Nor do we ask for proof of giftedness, etc. This means the list will be 'open', so to maintain your children's privacy you may want to use their initials, or pseudonyms, and avoid mentioning identifying information such as schools or teachers. This list is not intended to be used for research. If a researcher does wish to access the list members, that request MUST be via the listowner, who will forward the request to the list if it is felt appropriate.

Please post an introduction of yourself to the list. We look forward to 'meeting' you!

For information about twice exceptional children, see http://www.uniquelygifted.org.

All gifted children are special because of their intellectual abilities. Some, however, have disabilities that make them 'twice-special.' Many of us have found that the best way of meeting the educational needs of our twice-exceptional children is through homeschooling. This discussion group is devoted to families who are homeschooling or considering homeschooling these children.

What does GT-Spec-Home address? Generally, we are talking about any gifted child who has a learning disability (LD) and/or other neurological problem(s) and who may be homeschooled. These other neurological problems may include but are not limited to ADD, hyperactivity, autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Tourette's Syndrome, PDD, ODD, OCD, anxiety disorders, sensory integration disorders (SI), and depression.

What these problems all have in common is that they:

• Are caused by problems in the brain and nervous system
• Are in some cases treatable, but are essentially incurable at this time
• Are widely misunderstood by schools and by the public

GT-Spec-Home is a safe place where we can discuss our twice-special children, and the special challenges we face in helping them (and others) understand and deal with their differences, while also encouraging them to develop and enjoy their exceptional intellectual abilities. It is a place to share homeschooling resources, ask for suggestions of how to meet our children's unique needs, and get support for ourselves as we navigate the adventure of homeschooling our special children.

This forum will address all these issues. There is an ever growing database filled with information to help you! Database weblinks include topics such as curriculum, enrichment, summer camps, virtual field trips and international sites. The Links section covers local support groups in your area. This is a positive, forward-looking international forum with members from around the globe.

This list will take a serious look at the ways in which homeschooling, religious training, and family life shape our lives and the lives of our children. All are invited to share ideas, new web site discoveries, success and struggle stories, character education, favorite curriculum sources, influential books, experiences with distance learning, lessons you as a parent have learned, and the general daily life of homeschooling.

The Lord will intervene in our circumstances to solve the problems we cannot solve ourselves. When we ask for His help, then we have access to all the resources of heaven. It is not a teaching certificate, college degree, great patience, or expert communication skills that will carry us through to the end in our home schooling experience, but the help of the Lord.

This list is dedicated to parents teaching parents in the greatest and most eternal pursuit of all: raising our children to develop their hearts, minds, and talents in righteousness and faith.
