Academic underachievement. Workplace performance problems. Inflexible institutions. Talents developed fully, at the expense of the full self. In more than 15 years of working with gifted and talented people, I've seen many of them struggle with issues like these. As a result, I've become convinced that focusing on their identity as a gifted person -- and how that relates to the whole self -- is the foundation for their growth. Learning how people are gifted and understanding it in the context of family, friends and co-workers is always the firs...

The more exceptional an individual is, the less likely she or he has satisfactorily experienced either. Counseling with a therapist experienced in the exceptional needs of the gifted ...

Despite the best efforts of parents, today's adolescents frequently drink, experiment with drugs and are sexually active. According to the Anthony E. Wolf, however, it is still important to have rules even though a teenager may break them. He clearly has a feel for both the angst of young people who must deal with an evermore complex world and the difficulties parents face when a cooperative loving child morphs into a teenager who lies, talks back and avoids parental company.
