Examines the problems of gifted and talented students and explains how they can make the best use of their educational opportunities, get along better with parents and friends, and better understand themselves.
First published in 1984, newly revised and updated, this book has helped countless young gifted children realize they're not alone and being smart, talented and creative is a bonus--not a burden. It answers their questions about why they think and learn the way they do, and what "giftedness" and IQ really mean, and how to handle high expectations.
Parents typically forget what it's like to be a child. And if their child is gifted and the parent isn't, the parent probably doesn't really understand their child's life. This interesting book will help bridge this gap in understanding and it will help the gifted child to understand that they aren't unique in the world. The book not only answers the most common questions asked by gifted children and their parents about giftedness, it provides tips on perfectionism, boredom, making friends and working with teachers and school administrators. A must read for gifted students AND their parents.
