Parenting The Gifted Child

books about gifted children

The question will always be asked, are gifted children born that way or raised that way? I believe it is some of both. A perfectly normal child, raised by exceptional parents, could easily be classified as gifted and receive special attention all through the school years. It is just as possible for a gifted child to never be noticed as such because of bad parenting. Parenting the gifted child should be a lot like what parents should do to all of their bright, wonderful children, gifted or not.
