5.0 out of 5 Stars - Helpful and Easy to Read
This book helped me clear up some preconceived notions I had about gifted kids.
It helped me understand how gifted kids have different needs, that when addressed will really help them flourish instead of struggle through challenges. Very helpful examples are presented that helped me understand complex concepts that usually only educators understand. Highly recommend!
