Missy Hand Bedell
Missy Hand Bedell spent six years as a criminal defense attorney before becoming the parent of her first gifted child. In August 2009, she created a blog for parents of gifted children, Loving My Children’s Gifts. Along with educating parents about their gifted children, she hopes to alleviate, through humor and empathy, some of the doubt and difficulties parents encounter while supporting the needs of their gifted children. For the coming year, she will be Board of Trustees President for a local Montessori School and just accepted the nomination for The Ohio Association of Gifted Children Parent Division Chair Elect. This is her first article for the SENG Update Newsletter.
