While it can be rewarding to raise an extremely bright child — quick, curious, sensitive, and introspective — it’s also a daunting challenge. Parents need insight into their own motivations (as well as those of their children), and the courage and ability to make tough decisions about their child’s development. Raising Gifted Kids will help parents understand and cope with the obstacles they face in raising a gifted child, and help them make the best… More >>

This book is terrific and hit the nail on the head when it came to my child.
Rating: 5 / 5
I am an Aunt to a gifted child and this book has really helped me “get” my niece and her world. Thank you, Dr. Klein!
Rating: 5 / 5
Raising Gifted Kids has helped me to understand my children better and we are a happier, more cooperative family. This book is my reference guide; it provides clear guidance that is easily comprehendible and implement able. I found it so helpful that I gave my boy’s teacher a copy; I recommend it to everybody who has an influence on a child.

I have been searching for a book such as this. This book had me alternately laughing and almost crying because every single page had something that I could relate to. I loved the use of real life family case history to illustrate what works and what is disastrous. Many practical solutions were offered to effect order back into your home. This book helped me tremendously to understand both what my son is going through and why I feel the way I do when communicating with him. Great wonderful resource, I’ve been telling other parents of gifted children that I know to run to the bookstore and get this.

As a mom of a child who is about to be 4 and is reading at a first grade level, I found this book fascinating and comforting. I really enjoyed how the author really makes you consider your own background in education and encourages you and your spouse or partner to get on the same page. It also has explained some of my son’s behavior. I do have two negatives, though. The first is that it doesn’t offer an appendix listing contact resources for gifted parents, like parent support groups and such that can be found around the country. That would be extremely helpful. Also, the author mandates parents really have to expose gifted children to a lot of experiences to maximize their potential. This could include travel, museum visits, and even extra classes. This all adds up to a lot of money that may not be available to all parents of gifted children. A parent in that situation may be discouraged by reading this book, especially since the case studies seem to all involve more wealthy parents. However, I do plan to rely on this book as a resource as my child grows older.
