Parent Support Group

Topic:

Dabrowski's Theory of Overexcitabilities

Facilitated by: Anne Beneventi

The gifted community has long been aware that giftedness affects more than the cognitive aspects of a gifted child. There is almost always increased intensity and sensitivity as well, which was recognized by the Polish psychiatrist, Kazimierz Dabrowski. In his theory, Dabrowski talked about the superstimulatibility of the nervous system, which has been translated into English as overexcitabilities. This means that a gifted child is likely to respond more deeply and meaningfully to something that others may not even notice. Overexcitabilities express themselves in five different areas; psychomotor, sensual, imaginational, intellectual and emotional. These intensities have been found to correlate with giftedness.

In this interactive parent meeting we will use the Overexcitability Inventory for Parents to measure overexcitabilities and explore their impact on gifted children and families. We approach the dynamics of overexcitabilities from a positive and proactive perspective and emphasize self-care for parents.

BLC Parent Support Group, led by Anne Beneventi usually meets the last Wednesday of each month except November and December when we take a break for the holiday. Come chat with us, bring your concerns, thoughts and positive energy. Meet other parents of gifted children to discuss the challenges and share ideas. Childcare $5 per child.

A discussion about Over Excitabilities (OE) led by Anne Beneventi, $10.00
