'What does it mean to be gifted? Is it about being smart? Creative? Talented? Or what?' If you've ever asked these questions, this book is for you. Humorous cartoons blend with solid information on giftedness - its characteristics, challenges, and joys. First-person stories from parents who have been there offer reassurance and insights. As you smile at the illustrations and anecdotes, you'll discover what sets gifted kids apart and how you can support your child's unique abilities. You'll strengthen your parenting skills and get answers to other questions you've wondered about - like 'Are gifted kids really that different?' 'How are kids selected for gifted programs?' and 'How can I help my child make the most of his or her abilities?' And you'll sigh with relief as you learn ways to help your young gifted child - and yourself. Softcover, 120 pages.
