This book is a "must have" for parents and teachers of the profoundly gifted. It has an excellent scientific basis for explaining how deeply PG children can be hurt or helped by the education they are provided. Read it no matter how old your children are...even if your children are already grown, or if you were that child...be prepared to cry, but also to recognize that there is still more that can be done to help. |
