Summary: too simplistic
Comment: This is not the book to buy if you want tips on how to parent the gifted child. Galbraith wastes time catagorizing different types of "giftedness" and ends each section with a few tips on how to parent. I felt this book was overpriced for the information it contained.

Rating: 2
Summary: Not Worth the Money
Comment: This book is heavy on vague lists of what to look for in children who might be gifted. It contains very few specifics and reads more like a book intended to convince parents that their children are gifted rather than a serious analysis of the extent of their skills. Not worth the money to me.

Rating: 2
Summary: For parents of tots only
Comment: I was disappointed that this book talked only about children identified as gifted when in preschool or earlier. The anecdotes and examples all refer to children less than 8, usually less than 6. It is not uncommon for a child to be identified or maybe even BECOME? gifted until later. I know several kids who weren't "certifiably" gifted until 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, even one in the 7th grade. I was hoping for more information on identifying giftedness in these 'older' children.
