Ohio Association for Gifted Children

Celebrate progress over perfection. Helping a gifted child navigate their path is complex—small wins matter. 🎉 #ProgressNotPerfection #GiftedEd

Remember: Advocacy is a marathon, not a sprint. 🏃‍♀️ Today, do one small thing for yourself that restores energy—so you can keep showing up tomorrow. #GiftedEd #ParentAdvocacy #SelfCareFirst

🎧 Listen to something that inspires you—not just for your gifted child, but for YOU. A podcast, audiobook, or playlist can reset your mindset. 💬 Got a favorite? Share it with us! #GiftedEd #RechargeMoments #SelfCareJuly

Laughter is powerful self-care. Watch something silly with your gifted child today. Humor is often their hidden superpower—and yours. 😂 #GiftedEd #LaughterTherapy #SelfCareJuly

Gifted kids can be “overthinkers.” Sound familiar? Journaling your thoughts can help you declutter your mind and find clarity—especially before sleep. 🖊️ Just 10 minutes can make a difference. #GiftedEd #MentalHealth #SelfCareJuly

🌿 Self-care tip: Simplify your evenings. Gifted households can be intense—build in quiet rituals like evening walks or tech-free dinners. Small routines = big restoration. #GiftedEd #SelfCareJuly #SlowDown

Reflect on your impact. Your efforts shape gifted lives—never underestimate the power of showing up with love & intention. 📝 Tell us: What’s one small win you've had this month as a gifted parent or educator? Let’s lift each other up! #GiftedEd #SelfCareJuly #SmallWinsBigImpact

Creative expression isn’t just for kids. Write, draw, or build—reconnect with your own creativity & show gifted learners how grown-ups stay inspired. 💡 What’s one creative outlet that helps YOU recharge as a parent or teacher of gifted students? #GiftedEd #SelfCareJuly

Talk it out. Gifted advocacy is hard. A vent session with someone who “gets it” can lighten the load and deepen your insight. 💬 #SupportSystem #GiftedEd

Even 5 minutes of deep breathing can reset a chaotic day. Teach yourself—and your gifted students—to pause and breathe. 🧘 #Mindfulness #GiftedEd

Feeling isolated? Connect with others who understand the gifted experience. Community helps reduce burnout and validates your journey. Joining OAGC can help you find others in Ohio invested in gifted education! #GiftedCommunity #GiftedEd oagc.com/membership/
