Deborah Reber Differently Wired: Raising Unconventional Children in a Conventional World, GPS event on October 16, 2020

On Tuesday, Oct. 16 the Glenbard Parent Series hosted Deborah Reber the author of Differently Wired: Raising an Exceptional Child in a Conventional World.

Deborah Reber, MA, is a parenting activist, New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and speaker who moved her career in a more personal direction in 2016 when she founded TiLT Parenting, a top podcast, community, and educational resource for parents like her who are raising differently wired children. Debbie’s newest book is Differently Wired: Raising an Exceptional Child in a Conventional World (Workman Publishing, 2018). In November 2018, she spoke at TEDxAmsterdam, delivering a talk entitled Why the Future Will Be Differently Wired.

Emma-Leigh S. Strock District 89 school psychologist shared the following takeaway:

Deb Reber reminded parents to raise their kids from a place of acceptance, and joy. Find opportunities to reinforce the idea that your child is loved. The parents' role is to create a world where our children feel secure, where we see children for who they are and who they are meant to be. The goal is to actively recognize, appreciate, and celebrate their unique wiring and commit to making them feel good about who they are, so they can best share their extraordinary gifts.
