Publisher Notes
What are your child's special abilities? Regardless of the child's age, a parent can observe specific strengths & interests in art, music, dancing, dramatics, writing (oral if not written composition). Many parents do not believe that their children are gifted because of mediocre grades on schoolwork & standardized test scores. These children are likely to be underachievers, capable of work two to four grades above grade placement. Because of ridicule by teachers & classmates, they have purposely hidden their superior abilities. It is a parent's responsibility to help the child identify & develop areas of giftedness. If the needs that result from being gifted are not met, children often become behavior problems. Without the encouragement & guidance of significant others, the gifts with which they were endowed will be lost forever. It is a myth that gifted children will succeed without special attention to their abilities. Unlike many books which deal only with generalities, this book provides checklists for the different areas which parents can use as a guide to recognizing their children's strengths. Various activities are provided to help parents nurture their children's abilities, creativity (an important area missed by standardized tests & the regular curriculum), & intellectual development. Appendices offer other kinds of help. An index & detailed table of contents make this a necessary handbook for reference.
