Raising Champions: A Parent Handbook for Nurturing Gifted Children

by Michael Sayler

While watching and listening to your child each day you observe that he or she does things, says things, or questions things other children do not. After a while, you may wonder whether he or she is gifted or talented. Sometimes we worry that others will see us as one of those parents who brag too much about their child. Will people at school run when they see you coming, fearing a visit from "another pushy parent?" You want to do what is right for your child, yet you do not want to upset the system.

These mixed emotions are very normal. This handbook is designed to help you understand and appreciate your child even more, and it will provide you with practical suggestions for working with your child's school. This book will help you understand the meanings and implications of having a gifted or talented child in your family.

Designed for parents of gifted children, this book offers practical explanations and ideas for parents wanting to be more involved with their child's education and development. This book focuses on how parents can work with schools and teachers and guides them in understanding and nurturing their child's unique gifts and talents. Raising Champions includes practical ideas and information for parents.
