Description
Educating and raising gifted children presents highly specific challenges. This book explains how parents can learn to optimize their child's potential and work with schools, spouses, friends, and specialists to create a nurturing and stable life. Having a gifted child is a joy, but it is also one of the greatest challenges of parenthood. In this book, noted psychologist Barbara Klein, PhD, EdD, shares her expertise to help parents navigate the emotional and social issues of giftedness. She identifies key factors that can exacerbate or soothe the challenges and explains how these tie in to identifying the best school and educational program for a gifted child. Parents will learn how to make decisions about their child's social emotional development and educational future, while gaining insight into how their actions can be helpful or harmful to their gifted child and their education.
