Summary: An excellent usable resource
Comment: This is one of the best books on gifted children I have read. I think it is particularly valuable because it focuses less on schooling concerns and more on dealing with the specific issues these children deal with. There are chapters on stress management, motivation, peers, and feelings, to name a few, and each chapter gives tips on how parents can help kids with these issues. This is a great book, and I find myself referring to it often!

Summary: Great Primer
Comment: I truly enjoyed this book because of the primer nature of the text. Written to appeal to an intelligent lay person, the book addresses a vast array of parenting issues--not just those specific for gifted children. The soft-cover is a good beginning for your research on the concept of "giftedness" in your child and perhaps even yourself. Well worth it and the price is much better than I paid at a Webb talk. An engaging speaker, the text is conversational and straightforward.

Summary: Very little practical help
Comment: Too much psychobabble with little practical help that hasn't been offered a thousand times before. The book should focus more on the opportunities the giftedness creates for the child both in education and in living a richer life. Developing the "hungry mind" is key, and not letting the child's curiosity be stifled by a lowest-common-denominator public schooling system. A much better book was "Bringing Out the Best: A Resource Guide for Parents of Young Gifted Children."
