A Differentiated Gifted Program to Nurture Spiritual Intelligence

Abstract

The Spiritual Intelligence Program is a part of a series of gifted programs in the G.T. School using a whole family approach to giftedness. There were 20 families joining the project, from April 2004 to June 2006. The children had 14 one and a half hour workshops during Friday afternoons, and the parents had 12 two and a half hour workshops on Friday night. The family attends a family Soul Care camp once a year. The project was well received and successful. A short introduction of this project is presented. Other audiences include a group of pediatricians, the local parents in the Methodist social centre, and Chinese Christian churches in Hong Kong, as well as in Canada. People who are rich in their spiritual lives can best express their talents, gifts, emotions, intellect, and vision in the world. They can find meaning, purpose, and connection with themselves and others.
