Fantastic Resource for Families of Gifted Children
As the mother of three gifted children, I wish I had had this resource when they were young. Bruce and Elaine have created an easy to read, thorough guide for parents of gifted children that would be a valuable addition to their tool kit. Highly recommend.
While this book was purchased for the intent of helping my toddler (who I believe is gifted), it actually helped me, a gifted person as well, with reminders of self-advocacy, social and intellectual challenges, and how to make a lasting legacy with my gifts. I absolutely plan to read this again when my child is older and onward.
