This appears to be a good resource for parents of gifted children - giving an overall introduction to the special issues that GT kids have, and giving a lot of resources for further information. I recommend this as a place to start, but don't come looking for an in depth guide for how to raise a GT child.

Good essays and a great source of links, especially useful for parents who are new to the issues of parenting gifted kids.
