This concise, accessible guide explores the different models behind
the concept of giftedness, examining the criteria for evaluating
and identifying gifted children, in order to provide a deeper
understanding of the lives of children and young people with high
cognitive potential. It offers practical advice to parents and
teachers, highlighting common queries and misconceptions and
presenting evidence-based suggestions for management methods. Key
topics covered include the difference between being gifted and
talented, how to identify a gifted child, neurological differences
between gifted children and their peers, dealing with
perfectionism, and the best ways to parent and teach a gifted
child. Avoiding prescriptive rules, the authors emphasise the
importance of knowing and understanding the individual child whilst
utilising research around giftedness to promote the best possible
outcomes. Illustrated with case studies of student and teacher
perspectives, the book offers an inclusive perspective and
practical strategies, whereby the development of individual
potential is viewed not only as a way to promote the psychological
well-being of the individual but also as an opportunity and benefit
for society. Understanding Giftedness is essential reading for
parents and caregivers, as well as practitioners in clinical and
educational psychology, counselling, mental health, nursing, child
welfare, public healthcare and those in education who want to help
young people develop their talents and achieve their full
potential.
