Parenting Gifted Children 101 An Introduction to Gifted Kids and Their Needs

Overall, this book is an enjoyable read and a must-have for families new to the world of parenting gifted children. The stories and statistics offer an easy way to explore and maximize your gifted child's development. This book also provides numerous resources, both at the end of each chapter and at the end of the book, for those looking for additional information. As the authors wisely advise, "You're reading this book in order to better understand your child and better help him in life's journey. The most powerful tool you can have in your advocacy toolkit is knowledge" (p. 13).,Davidson Institute for Talent Development, 7/13/16
GATE students definitely need to be challenged, and I challenge parents and educators to share this book with school and district personnel, including gifted education committees so we can all be informed. If your school doesn't have such a committee, begin one. Help your student be in the know as to her rights, as well. After all, as the authors point out, the gifted are our future doctors, lawyers, technicians, writers, dancers and, I hope, teachers. Be an advocate for your child and begin by getting this book into the right hands.,Dr. Mary Langer Thompson,MiddleWeb, 12/8/16
Any parent with a child who has been identified as gifted would benefit from reading this book and learning more of what they can do as a parent to help.,Gifted Child Today, 6/21/17
