Some topics of interest include understanding a child's giftedness, working with the school system, dealing with perfectionism in gifted kids, and being adult role models for children. Along the way, stories from gifted children and their parents provide insight into the lives of these individuals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat sets this book apart from other books for parents of gifted kids is its expansion beyond mere platitudes.
