Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Treasure Chest of Ideas
Review: Book contains many useful lists / charts / comparisons to define giftedness. Many helpful hints about raising a gifted child. Main criticism is that the book is more about raising children in general -- and may push those with "normal" kids into thinking they have gifted ones and down that track -- when they should not. Gifted kids are the exception, not the norm as this book makes it seem.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: Treasure Chest of Ideas
Review: I first read this fine book when it was published in 1989. Because of the abundance of timeless, insightful ideas it contains, I gave it to my daughter when she became a mother. Potential readers looking at the Contents page will immediately see the wide range of topics discussed on the subject of giftedness, and how to recognize and nuture it during the critical developmental years of birth to seven. The chapters abound with ideas on stimulating the creativity, curiosity, social, emotional and intellectual development of this young individual.

Services which are available and what to expect upon school matriculation are discussed. My daughter found the Appendix section especially useful. It contains helpful developmental checklists. By matching the lists to the child's ability parents have a practical way to identify strengths and weaknesses of their child. Parents and grandparents who are curious to know if their child is gifted and/or how to effectively deal with that special individual will find this book to be a treasure chest of ideas.
