A Comprehensive Guide for Raising Gifted Children

"Keys to Parenting the Gifted Child" (3rd ed., 2007) is a very comprehensive guide for families with gifted children. Author Sylvia Rimm, Ph.D., explains how to have your child evaluated, select a school (whether it's preschool or elementary), encourage a love of reading, teach good homework habits, communicate with your child's teacher, and more. She also answers questions such as: Should my child be allowed to skip a grade? Should I homeschool my child? How do I encourage my gifted child if he or she has a disability? Rimm also addresses family issues related to having a gifted child, such as parenting with a united front, sibling rivalry and single parenting. This book answers the questions that parents have so they can "unlock the potential" of their very bright children.
