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 to help that child find the right fit for
education. In this remarkably insightful text, noted psychologist
Barbara Klein, PhD, EdD, explains the emotional and social issues
of giftedness, identifies parental actions and reactions that can
exacerbate or soothe the challenges, and describes how these key
factors tie in to identifying the best school and educational
program to enable a gifted child to achieve his or her goals and
maximize success. The text includes many vignettes from children
and families who have sought guidance across 30 years from the
author, an accomplished psychotherapist recognized as a national
authority on raising gifted children. This single-volume work
presents an understandable theoretical overview of the
psychological problems parents face raising their gifted child and
clearly explains why the parent-child interaction can be so intense
and stressful-a reality that is rarely acknowledged in the existing
literature on giftedness. Parents of gifted children will learn how
to make decisions about their children's social emotional
development and educational future and understand how their actions
can be helpful or harmful to their gifted child and his/her
education. Educators will fully grasp why and how gifted kids are
different and why they need different educational environments,
while mental heath professionals will gain insight into their
gifted patients' emotional struggles. And gifted individuals will
realize that others experience similar struggles. Details how to
find a school that satisfies a child's particular needs Presents
the ideas, thoughts, and feelings of parents in words that other
parents with gifted children can identify with and understand
Provides information on the over-excitabilities and intensities of
gifted children presented in a practical, straightforward way that
helps the reader apply these concepts in actual strategies in their
everyday lives Identifies specific problems of parents with gifted
children and outlines effective solutions to these challenges
