Stand Up for Your Gifted Child: How to Make the Most of Kids' Strengths at School and at Home - Softcover

What can parents do when a child seems "average" at school but brilliant at home? When he has a talent...and a learning difference that hides it? When she has extraordinary potential in math...but her teacher ignores it?For parents who think their gifted children aren't getting the education they need, this book is a must. It helps them recognize their children's gifts, understand their problems at school, find out their district's policy on gifted education, explore various options (pull-out programs, acceleration, grade skipping, clustering, etc.), communicate effectively with the school and district, and provide enrichment at home. Special chapters focus on the needs of gifted girls, minorities, children with learning differences, and disadvantaged children, and on the benefits of getting involved in parent groups. Resources point the way toward more information and support.
