• Discipline Issues

Intensity, perfectionism, and stress

• Idealism, unhappiness, and depression

• Educational planning

• Parenting concerns

Finding professional help

"Heretofore, there has not been such a wonderfully insightful, fascinating, and comprehensive guidebook as this one. A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children will undoubtedly become a "must read" for all adults who are confronted with the day-to-day challenges inherent in bringing up a gifted child."

"...an invaluable guide for parents, grandparents, and others who love a gifted child. At 400 pages, it is not as long as the manual for a home computer, but much more important and far more interesting."

Raymond D. Fowler, Ph.D.

Former President and Chief Executive Officer, American Psychological Association

This book is destined to become the classic guide for parents of gifted children. The key topics covered are essential ones, and this book provides much wisdom and new information."
