Synopsis:

This book will help parents understand and cope with the obstacles they face in raising a gifted child, and help them make the best choices for their son’s or daughter’s growth and happiness.

While it can be rewarding to raise an extremely bright child -- quick, curious, sensitive, and introspective -- it’s also a daunting challenge. Parents need insight into their own motivations (as well as those of their children), and the courage and ability to make tough decisions about their child’s development.

Raising Gifted Kids reveals how parents can:

• help develop their child’s potential and self-esteem without pressuring them
• plan their child’s education
• work optimally with schools and teachers
• recognize and prevent problems
• solve family conflicts over parenting issues
• avoid the dangers of living vicariously through their child’s accomplishments

Filled with proven solutions to the unique challenges of raising gifted kids, Raising Gifted Kids is the powerful yet accessible resource parents have long wished for.

About the Author: Dr. Barbara Klein, a nationally known expert on childdevelopment, holds doctoral degrees in both clinical psychology and early childhood education. Her private practice is dedicated to assessing, counseling, and assisting with the special educational needs of gifted and highly gifted children.
