"A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children is an essential resource for all families of gifted children." - Review by the Davidson Institute for Talent Development "This helpful guide concisely explains the complexities of gifted children, addresses the challenges they face, and details practical strategies for parents to support their gifted children in all aspects of their lives." - Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) reviewer Bobbie Collins-Perry "One of the very best [books on parenting gifted children]... The tone and language the authors use is both comforting and reassuring.

From the Inside Flap

"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." -F. Richard Olenchak, Ph.D., P.C., Director and Psychologist, Urban Talent Research Institute, University of Houston and Past President, National Association for Gifted Children ; "...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." -Jan Davidson, Ph.D., Co-founder, Davidson Institute for Talent Development and co-author of Genius Denied: How to Stop Wasting Our Brightest Minds
