5.0 out of 5 stars The only parenting book I've read more than once, Jun 29 2004
Yes, this book has a lot of big words in it, but the odds are that if you have a gifted child, you probably were one yourself.

I really enjoyed this book, as it discusses specific issues that are common to "gifted" children, addressed and described some of the difficulties I see my son struggling through, and even explained some of the things I experienced or observed as a child. Some of it was not news to me, but enough of it was to make me go back and read it again whenever my son starts acting up.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent usable resource, Jun 19 2003
By Shannon Gravier (Santa Rosa, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Primer, April 10 2001
By A Customer
I truly enjoyed this book because of the primer nature of the text. Written to appeal to an intelligent lay person, the book addresses a vast array of parenting issues--not just those specific for gifted children. The soft-cover is a good beginning for your research on the concept of "giftedness" in your child and perhaps even yourself. Well worth it and the price is much better than I paid at a Webb talk. An engaging speaker, the text is conversational and straightforward.
