Hey there's Debbie. Today's episode is a special re-release of a favorite conversation from the archives.

Unless you're a long time listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one before.

And even if you have, you just might get something completely different from it this time around.

Within Gifted there's all these different sort of points of view there's Renzuli versus

de Brauski there's there's acceleration versus enrichment. I'm all in for getting everybody

into the movie and keeping everybody in the room as much as we can and saying, let's think about this stuff together and let's at the end of

the day keep the kids in mind.

You know, it's really about the children and most people I talk to agree that it has to be about the

children like if we're not helping more children then then why are we doing this?

Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids.

I'm your host Debbie Reeper and today we're going to talk about the state of giftedness in today's kids

as seen through the lens of independent filmmaker Mark Smallowitz.

Mark runs an award-winning San Francisco-based production company called 13th Gen and one of his newest

projects is a film currently in production called the G word a documentary exploring

where gifted individuals fit in in today's society. Defying popular myths that assume

gifted people are wealthy, white, and will do fine on their own, the G word

reveals the economic, cultural, and gender diversity of the gifted at every single stage of life,

the educational challenges, social isolation, emotional sensitivities, and physical threats

faced by many of them in our schools and society at large and the search

for solutions. In our conversation Mark takes us behind the scenes of his film and

shares his thoughts on giftedness as it relates to 2E, equity, social justice, and more.

You can check out a trailer and some excerpts from the G-word by going to the G-word film.com.
