Summary

The Gifted Child

Authors: James T. Webb, Janet L. Gore, Edward R. Amend & Arlene R. DeVries

Caring, Courageous and Creative Parenting

What exactly is giftedness, how is it recognized, how is it measured and is there a better term than "gifted child"? Is giftedness a hereditary trait? How to be a successful parent to a gifted child? What are the characteristics and what are the potential problems of gifted children?  When and how do schools identify a gifted child, and when, how and why should parents seek professional help? What are the problems of gifted children in communication with their peers and how to solve them? What should parents demand from the school? What are the options in the school program for a gifted child?

These are just some of the questions addressed in this extensive and comprehensive book intended primarily for parents, but also for teachers, pedagogues, psychologists, educators and professional associates in kindergartens and schools. Being the parent of a gifted child is an experience often filled with joy and laughter, but also with insecurity and confusion, but also with the parents taking an active role in raising these little, often very hardworking geniuses! For example parents worry, wondering whether gifted children are more prone to depression, dissatisfaction and despair, all because of their idealism and perfectionism, whether they should curb their excessive curiosity, how to explain to them the traditions, customs and social norms that gifted children often resist... Parents also worry about how a gifted child treats other children, how he makes friends, how he builds relationships or competes with siblings who are unequal abilities...

There are many challenges for both parents and the educational system - the phenomenon of giftedness requires recognition, understanding, acceptance, nurturing, encouragement, development, improvement. Being unique and different, yet wanting  to belong to a peer group and society can be a difficult task. Parenting a gifted child is a lonely experience, and this book, with numerous tips and explanations, will help parents better understand and support their gifted child in all ways – academically, socially and emotionally.
