What does it mean to be "gifted"? What's good—and not so good—about being identified as gifted? How can parents make sure that their gifted children get the learning opportunities they need? And how can parents cope with the unique challenges gifted kids present? Every parent of a gifted child has question like these. Since 1991, when we published the original edition of this guide, parents have looked here for answers. Now revised and updated with information about current research and legislation, new examples, new resources (including Web sites), and more, it's the first place to turn for facts, insights, strategies, and sound advice. You'll learn what giftedness is (and isn't), what makes gifted kids so special, how kids are identified as gifted, and why some kids fall through the cracks during the identification process. You'll discover encouraging practical tips for living with your gifted child—and handling the endless questions, high energy, and too-smart mouth that often go along with giftedness. You'll find out how to keep from raising a "nerd," how to prevent perfectionism, and when to get help. And you'll learn how to advocate for your child's education at school and in your state. Friendly, inviting, and fun to read, THE SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR PARENTS OF GIFTED KIDS is for any parent who has ever wondered. |

 Written on September 23, 2001 Summary: Not as comprehensive as I'd hoped.... While naming so many famous social outcasts and school failures who were phenomenally advanced, this book goes on to tell about the social affability and drive 'GT's have. My experience with such children has been about 50/50, half socially fine and willing and able to get on with studying, the other half way over in the other end of this spectrum. This book makes far too little mention of the second half, which I found most disappointing, as it is the second group which perhaps needs more understanding and encouragement. Written on November 15, 2000 Summary: great resource Believe it or not, two weeks ago I was pretty much convinced that my seven year old son had Asperger's syndrome--loosely defined as high functioning autism. Why? Because he is more comfortable around adults than kids, is extremely bright but has terrible handwriting and can't tie his shoes, is something of a perfectionist, hangs back from peer groups, and displays inappropriate anger and frustration in his multiage class. What a damned relief to open this book right to page 41 and read the two paragraphs entitled The Motor Skills Gap. As a matter of a fact I laughed right through that whole section, Living with Your Gifted Child, because it described my son so perfectly, and even gave me some insight into my own childhood behaviors. No matter where you are in the process of parenting a gifted child--discovering that you actually have one, figuring out how to best help your child be at their best emotionally, or working within the school and even the state legislature to bring about supportive programs--this book has lots of guidance and suggestions, especially for more reading. The book itself is a bit of a quick read--I got it at 3 pm and at 8 pm am sitting here writing about it--but I can see that it's something I'll refer to over and over again as various issues come up. Will I ever be able to answer my son's (incessant) questions about what happened before the Big Bang? No. But with help from this book and books like it, I'll be able to help create a supportive environment that will help him get the answers he needs.  Written on November 1, 2000 Summary: Excellant Resource As a Mother of such a child, I have to say this is a book I often refer to again and again. Written on October 30, 2000 Summary: The survival guide for parents of gifted kids I am so pleased with the suggestions in this book. I am even happier that they WORK! I needed to read this book a year ago but did not know about it. If I had I could have saved my son a year of grief and the wondering "what's wrong with me?" The book gives an excellent view into the what and why of GT kids. I also am relieved to know that the isolation that accompanies my son's talent is very normal but should be monitored. The book leaves you with a clear perspective. Written on May 17, 1999 Summary: Wow! Finally some help. Practical, applicable advice. I bought this book by chance and it has been a great help for us with our 8 yr. old son. At some points, it's too "older kid" heavy...so if you're looking for a book w/ advice on dealing with young Gifted Kids this probably isn't for you. BUT, if you've got school age kids and are beginning to think about or are currently dealing with a gifted kid in school you can get a lot of help in how to deal with all the quirks these kids have and do at home/school. It's helped me help my perfectionistic son. Good luck! |
