Understanding the Gifted Child through a Bowen Family Systems Lens
½ day Workshop for child and family health professionals/school counsellors working with gifted children and their families
“…the projection process (anxiously focussing on the child) intensifies, creating an emotional crowding effect for the child, which ultimately gives the child less emotional room to develop” (M Donley, 2003: 148)
This workshop will overview the broad knowledge base of current reviewed literature and theories on the academic, socio-affective and emotional characteristics of the gifted child.
A particular focus will be the catalysts in the developmental process of translating a gift to a talent through the lens of Murray Bowen’s theory, showing how
- a systems view unlocks key relationship variables that effect a child’s development and capacity to achieve potential.
- Other key ideas developed will be parents’ capacity to have boundaries with their child rather than focus on a child’s performance,
- the impact of the system’s anxiety on the child’s development and
- how family systems patterns may be replicated in the class room.
