Parenting Gifted Kids by James Delisle
Delisle puts forward 10 tips to parents of gifted childrenideas that reflect attitude and approach and allow for introspection and change, rather than quick, do-it-tonight solutions. Topics of interest include understanding a child's giftedness, working with the school system, dealing with perfectionism, and being role models for kids. EducParenting Gifted Kids: Tips for Raising Happy and Successful Children by James RDelisle (Professor of Gifted Education at Kent State University) is an informative and “parent friendly” reference for enabling a truly gifted child to expressively and productively achieve their life goals, develop sound character, and generally enjoy their life. Examining overly excitable children, the type of gift granted to each child, working with the school system, dealing with perfectionist children, being a positive role model, building a child's character, and helping kids achieve their set goals and dreams, Parenting Gifted Kids is very highly recommended reading, especially to all new parents of a gifted child.,James A Cox,Midwest Book Review, 5/17/06
While parenting in general is chock-full of pitfalls and second guessing, parenting gifted kids can be even more exhausting and mystifying, as they are indeed exceptional, and public sympathy for these parents' plight is even less encouraging. In this book, however, Dr. Delisle gives parents tools and strategies for understanding their children's overexcitabilities, building meaning in their lives and working with the school systems that fail them.,Davidson Center for Talent Development, 6/18/06
