Gifted children are as special as any other child. The difference is how they progress faster and need more challenges in their life. Most parents do not have the knowledge of what to do to help their gifted child excel to their fullest potential. We want our kids to be kids, but what we also want for them is to be the best that they can be while growing up as a child.

A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children (2007), the quintessential compendium of raising gifted children, has been revised! In this new edition, coauthors Edward R. Amend Psy.D., Emily Kircher-Morris, LPC, and Janet Gore, M.Ed. reinforce the reliable approaches originally explored in the first edition, while drawing extensively on the wealth of research and information developed over the last 15 years in the areas of neuroscience, psychology, and education.

In "Raising Gifted Children with Love and Awareness", Cynthia Webson opens with a heartfelt invitation to see giftedness not as a label but as a unique lens through which a child experiences the world. The introduction lays the emotional foundation of the book, acknowledging the awe—and sometimes anxiety—that parents feel when they realize their child is wired differently. Rather than rushing to identify milestones or match them to expectations, Webson encourages parents to slow down, tune in, and understand the deeper emotional and intellectual needs of their gifted child.
