Confidently raising brilliance

This book was a thoughtful guide for the parent going through the challenging paths associated with parenting a gifted child. What actually touched me and caught my attention was help in how to manage intense emotions—something many parents grapple with but few resources tackle head-on. I found there to be practical, not overwhelming strategies to make an easy start possible. I also liked the balanced focus on emotional and intellectual growth—it didn't push one at the expense of the other. If anything, a bit more on daily engagement ideas would have been welcome. Overall, it reassures and is a thoughtful guide for anyone trying to navigate this journey.

An investment in your child's development

This book is highly interesting to listen to and an eye-opener that really rose my consciousness about the reasons behind gifted children's behaviors. Among the gifted, it also details a special group -- "E2" children who are "double" exceptions - both highly intelligent and gifted, with some learning disabilities. An example would be a brilliant child who converses fluently on an adult level but struggles with dyslexia in writing tasks.
The overriding message of the book is that gifted children display traits that are atypical and should not be handled according to the average "one-size fits all" approach of most education or parenting systems. Recognizing and adjusting to this can make all the difference between raising a socially well-adjusted child whose gifts can develop freely, as opposed to one who is misunderstood and maladjusted.
Notably, a gifted child can be intellectually on the level of many adults, while emotionally still a child or even more reactive than most children, due to their high intelligence and sensitivity. This means that they can have trouble relating to peers who are not like them or with being accepted by groups and may need some support that adults would not anticipate since these children are otherwise very advanced.

These are key insights that parents need to have to raise their children well and prevent mistakes that could have grave consequences for the wellbeing of their children and the development of healthy social and familial relationships.
The book offers solid, practical advice on how to adjust to the needs of these children so that we understand them and they can thrive. At the same time, it explains typical pitfalls to avoid pivotal misunderstandings and mistakes. I especially like the "stop and reflect" sections that replaced conclusions at the end of the chapters. They invite the reader to digest the information and practically apply it to their own experience.
This book is a much needed resource for parents in a world that likes generalizations and may judge children by generic standards that may not always apply. Highly recommended.

One of the coolest parts is how it shows you ways to talk to schools, so your kid gets what they need to succeed. Plus, it has awesome tips for helping with perfectionism and anxiety, which I know a lot of kids struggle with.
