Keys to Parenting the Gifted Child Quotes

“Routines that teach children good manners, cleanup responsibilities, consideration for others, and respect for teachers provide good preparation for school and life. Disorganized, out of control class environments may cause feelings of insecurity for preschool children. Gifted children may be especially sensitive to the disorder.”

“Communication between school and home is important not only because you will feel more secure about the environment being provided for your children, but also because you, as parents, can share in your children's developmental milestones despite your not being available to witness them at all times. A daily journal exchange can facilitate this communication. Your child care providers can be asked to document your children's daily accomplishments. They are likely to understand how important this is for you.”
― Sylvia B. Rimm, Keys to Parenting the Gifted Child

― Sylvia B. Rimm, Keys to Parenting the Gifted Child

“The developmental needs and tasks of your children should always be at the forefront of your parenting.”
