Educating Your Gifted Child

by Vicki Caruana

And while each one has been given talents and strengths, some children are obviously more gifted academically. If you've been blessed with one or more gifted children, you know that this joy also raises plenty of questions and concerns. What will keep them challenged and best meet their needs? Will traditional schools suffocate or stimulate their gifts? Vicki Caruana is able to help you answer these questions and more, thanks to her strong ties in both the gifted education and homeschooling communities. She covers a wide range of topics in-depth, from the characteristics of and myths about gifted kids, to matching teaching and learning styles and handling family dynamics. With stories from her own experiences and those of other parents, advice from experts in the field, and extensive appendices on resources and support groups, she gives you a source of encouragement and guidance in making educational choices for gifted children from preschool-age on up.

Good general things to consider, but a pretty dated book lacking super practical examples.
