Summary: Great Primer
Review: Too much psychobabble with little practical help that hasn't been offered a thousand times before. The book should focus more on the opportunities the giftedness creates for the child both in education and in living a richer life. Developing the "hungry mind" is key, and not letting the child's curiosity be stifled by a lowest-common-denominator public schooling system. A much better book was "Bringing Out the Best: A Resource Guide for Parents of Young Gifted Children."

Summary: The only parenting book I've read more than once
Review: Yes, this book has a lot of big words in it, but the odds are that if you have a gifted child, you probably were one yourself. I really enjoyed this book, as it discusses specific issues that are common to "gifted" children, addressed and described some of the difficulties I see my son struggling through, and even explained some of the things I experienced or observed as a child. Some of it was not news to me, but enough of it was to make me go back and read it again whenever my son starts acting up.
