Description
 
 
"In their second book together, Jim Delisle and Judy Galbraith explain what giftedness means, how gifted kids are identified, and how we might improve the identification process. Then they take a close-up look at gifted kids from the inside out—their social and emotional needs. Topics include self-image and self-esteem, perfectionism, multipotential, depression, feelings of “differentness,” and stress. The authors suggest ways to help gifted underachievers and those who are bored in school, and ways to encourage healthy relationships with friends, family, and other adults. The final chapter explains how teachers can make it safe to be smart by creating the gifted-friendly classroom." (from publisher's Web site) Click here to read a review of this book.

Our family (including our PG child) found this book helpful. To our surprise, our child identified with ALL of the "gripes of a gifted child", so that section alone was a wonderful jumping-off point for several discussions. We also enjoyed having a reference in one place for the many different ways that intelligence is measured and discussed. While the bulk of the book is designed for conventional classroom teachers and is not specifically designed for PG kids, we will use some of its suggestions for our home schooling. This is definitely worthwhile reading.
