Parenting Gifted Children and the Balance of Being
Upcoming Parent Webinar with Tracy Ford Inman, Ed.D.
6:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. CT, September 17
Live Online Webinar
No Cost to Attend
A gifted child is a child first. When too much attention is placed on the gift, children can experience anxiety, alienation, underachievement, and other challenges. For gifted children who already experience the world with greater intensity, those challenges can affect not only the child but the entire family.
How can you create greater balance? How can you support achievement while still making space for your child’s emotional, social, and developmental needs?
In this session, Tracy Ford Inman, Ed.D., will explore what it means to support the whole gifted child and offers ideas for creating a healthier balance between ability, expectations, relationships, and simply being a kid.

2026 Baylor TIP Scholars
We are pleased to recognize students from LISD who have been recognized by Baylor University as Baylor TIP Scholars. Seventh-grade students earn this distinction by taking a test similar to an SAT or ACT and earning scores that are typical of college-bound high school seniors. Being recognized as a Baylor TIP Scholar signifies that a student has exceptional academic potential and a commitment to developing their talents.
Baylor TIP offers three levels of honors for these students —TIP Scholar, TIP Green Scholar, and TIP Gold Scholar. Green Scholars are students who score in the top 25% of all students who test for admission to TIP, and Gold Scholars represent those in the top 10%. With these designations, students are granted access to advanced learning opportunities at Baylor University that are tailored to nurture their scholarly growth. students who qualified for the Baylor TIP 7th Grade Talent Search.
This is an outstanding accomplishment that reflects their hard work and academic achievement.
