Gifted Students

When Gifted Kids Don't Have All The Answers
ISBN 1575421070 Free Spirit Paperback WB Price: $34.95
Real-life strategies and solutions for meeting gifted kids' social and emotional needs and creating the gifted-friendly classroom."Veterans of gifted education classes or workshops will find the first two chapters of this volume, concerned with defining and identifying gifted children, a reasonably good review. But interest ratchets up when the authors share data and evocative writings by the students themselves. Practical strategies to deal with specific emotional problems are given. Enticing discussion questions, group activities, and 31 reproducible pages are offered as a way to begin addressing these concerns. The media center is often the preferred habitat of specially trained gifted teachers and their students, and it often behooves librarians to better understand this clientele. This book is an excellent introduction for new collaborations in our multilevel, multitasking research environments. With carefully reasoned suggestions and well-thought-out design, this is an easy, but essential, professional read."- Reed Business Information. 23.11 cms L x 18.39 cms W (0.48 kgs) 192 pages

Guiding The Gifted Child by James T Webb

WB Price: $30.95
This book has the intent to increase the awareness of parents, teachers and others working with gifted children particularly to recognize that these children and their families have special emotional needs and opportunities that are quite often overlooked and, thus, neglected. Most often this neglect results "only" in unfulfilled potential and missed enjoyments -- but sometimes it leads blatantly to misery and depression. Loving our children just is not enough. As in other jobs that require management roles, we have to know what we are doing! 21.54 cms L x 13.94 cms W (0.32 kgs) 216 pages 

The Survival Guide for Parents of Gifted Kids by Sally Walker
ISBN 1575421119 Free Spirit Paperback 152 pgs WB Price: $25.95
What does it mean to be "gifted"? What's good -- and not so good -- about being identified as gifted? How can parents make sure that their gifted children get the learning opportunities they need? And how can parents cope with the unique challenges gifted kids present? Since 1991, when we published the original edition, parents have looked to this survival guide for answers to questions like these. Newly revised and updated, it's the first place to turn for facts, insights, strategies, and sound advice. Parents learn what giftedness is (and isn't), how kids are identified, how to live with their gifted children, how to prevent perfectionism, when to get help, how to advocate for their children's education, and more.
