This book was used for a parent support group when our very first child started a gifted program. The group was lead by a child psychologist who picked the book out and I can see why. It is well written and comprehensive. We have gone back to the book for our second child and have given it to others.
Very helpful-- an excellent reference from childhood to adulthood.

This book is a classic... and a great reference for both teachers and parents. I particularly like the question and answer fomat used at the end of the chapters to supplement the text. Some of the topics addressed include motivation, discipline, peer relationships, and stress management. Highly readable and a great introduction to the social/emotional needs of the gifted.

Every time I re-read this book I find it more helpful. It has helped be become a better parent, and has empowered me in the battle against the school establishment. I urge you to read this book even if you only remotely think that your child might be gifted. Understanding what we have to go through has made our family life much easier and less stressful than before.

I very first read this book in 1989, when my first-born began school. She is now a young adult, has read the book, and thanks me for following the advice. It is timeless. I have since bought 11 more copies, as gifts for friends, as well as re-reading my own copy countless times, as my subsequent 2 children were also identified gifted. I was also fortunate to find a parent group that was based on the topics of the book. It was the most positive and helpful parenting support I ever received.

This is one of the best books on gifted children I have read. I think it is particularly valuable because it focuses less on schooling concerns and more on dealing with the specific issues these children deal with. There are chapters on stress management, motivation, peers, and feelings, to name a few, and each chapter gives tips on how parents can help kids with these issues. This is a great book, and I find myself referring to it often!
