Parents' Guide to Raising a Gifted Child: Recognizing and Developing Your Child's Potential

You may think your child is ADD - but in reality is GIFTED! Read this book! It is such a great resource!

My son has shown a gifted ability early on. He was reading by the age of 2 and was absorbing knowledge like a sponge. When he reached age 4, he was reading at a first grade to almost second grade level and starting to do math. I was not sure how the keep him challenged and he was getting super bored with school. This book had many great pointers for both gifted and average kids. I am of the belief that all children have the advanced capacity to learn and that all children have learning "growth spurts" and stagnation in learning. This book points out getting passed the lull in learning. This book really lays out what the child might be feeling because is written from a person who is gifted and understands that from the child perspective. It also really is a good source for dealing with gifted children when they reach their teens. I definitely keep the book handy for when my son reachs that age. It is a very good read for children's education!
