Parent's Guide to Raising a Gifted Child: Recognizing and Developing Your Child's Potential

Parent's Guide to Raising a Gifted Child: Recognizing and Developing Your Child's Potential Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Though academic abilities have always been important in determining whether your child is gifted, talent in the visual and performing arts, leadership qualities, and intellectual curiosity are just as vital. But unless We as parents help nurture those talents, our gifted children can become bored, socially aggressive, or, ironically, underachievers in the classroom.

Here is a practical, informative, and authoritative primer for raising and educating our gifted children from preschool to adolescence. Beginning with sensible strategies to determine whether — and in which area — your child is gifted, this book takes parents through selecting an appropriate day-care center, a school, and a home reference library It helps us figure out where our role stops and the schools role begins as well as detailing ways to keep our children's creativity alive and how to cope with sibling rivalry and our own doubts and fears Also included are a recommended reading list, a special section on the roles of the computer and television in your child's and much more.

"It's difficult to imagine a stone left unturned by this excellent guide. So wise and rich ... it seems a shame not to put it into the hands of every parent."

-- Kirkus Reviews
