Summary: A great book!
Comment: This book is a great resource for parents of gifted children! It is comforting to read that many of the issues that my gifted child has are similar to those shared by other gifted kids.
There is a thorough discussion of the needs of gifted children at home and at school. It is a great book and I would highly recommend it to all parents and teachers of gifted children!

Summary: How to Advocate for Gifted Children in Public Schools
Comment: It reviewed familiar concepts I have previously read about the distinguishing characteristics that help define gifted. Those characteristics include: (1) gifted children differ from mere smart children in the profundity of their cognitive abilities and the gifted upper levels can only be achieved with genetic endowments that no amount of education can compensate for, (2) Gifted children need additional support systems to navigate their way through school similar to how mentally challenged children need additional support systems to navigate through school, and (3) Gifted children are a tremendous workload for their parents to manage.
The bookfs strength was in telling the reader how to effectively advocate for onefs gifted child in the public school system. It wasnft too specific on how to properly homeschool gifted children and did not address much about the college years or beyond. My favorite parts, as usual were the real life examples or scenarios of gifted children going through the highs and lows of their giftedness with their friends, teachers, and parents. Gifted people can be so easy to ridicule because they are often full of insecurities and social shortcomings. The book lead me to three moderately useful websites on the subject of giftedness by referring me to twenty-one websites.
