National Parenting Gifted Children week got its start in 2007 when it was founded by the National Association of Gifted Children (NAGC) and is now sponsored in collaboration with Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG). The event takes place in conjunction with the annual conference put on by SENG, offering an important reminder that parents often need support and help as they advocate on behalf of their gifted children and work hard to help them find their place in the world.
