A Special Evening with Dr. Georgia Tiedemann

Neurodevelopmental research is confirming what parents have always know: our children are born with their own unique and enduring temperamental styles.  Many intellectually gifted children have particular intense or extreme personalities.

Understanding how basic temperamental characteristics drive our children’s often baffling behavior, can help us respond with compassion and guide our children more effectively. 

In this workshop, we’ll explore the fundamental dimensions of temperament, the joys and challenges these characteristics can bring, and how we can use our understandings of temperamental differences to make life more manageable for our kids – and their parents.

Dr. Georgia Tiedemann, R. Psych., is a registered psychologist and a mother of two young adults.  Her clinical work with children and their families began in the early 1980’s with her doctoral research at UBC, into how parents can help their children learn to share.  Later, she worked in public health, consulting to families and caregivers of young children.  For about the past 20 years, he work has been partly in child and adolescent mental health, and partly in private practice doing assessments and consultations around issues such as learning disabilities and intellectual giftedness.  She has been an enthusiastic supporter of gifted children in our community.
