This book is excellant! I have bought many books on gifted children and this is one of the best. This book is especially great if you have a gifted toddler. It will tell you everything from identification procedures (has a check list)to what the ramifications could be in a child whose talents are waisted because of being overlooked (it can lead to deliquency and depression in adolesence). This book will guide you on how to deal with everyday situations and has suggestions on activities as well as how to focus and develop the emotional needs of this high demand child. This book is a must have your money will not be waisted!
