September 27, 2021 • Megan Champion • Season 1 • Episode 51

In This Episode: Such a good episode with Ilana! We had an in-depth conversation about giftedness, asynchronous development, and how our kids need to be in touch with themselves (and we do too!) Don't miss this eye-opening chat - my mouth dropped open several times. Be sure to listen to the WHOLE episode - the ending is fantastic!

-The flip side of giftedness in 2E
-Existential depression
-Mindfulness in our kids (it's not what you think!)
-Seeing our kids as "whole" and helping them to do the same.
