  • Parenting is a difficult job. You aren't given a manual when you have a child and there's no survival guide to tell you what to do. Things complicate further if your child is lucky enough to be gifted. People tell you it'll be easy raising a bright child, leaving you frustrated when your child begins to act a little ... intense. Fortunately there are parenting books to help—too many parenting books. Most of these books don't address the unique needs of gifted children. In fact, as you attempt the strategies typically found in them, things often get worse. You're left feeling angry about your own inability to execute the strategies that are supposed to work so well. Frustrated and resentful, you turn to other family members, friends, and the school looking for help. But the same misguided assumptions about giftedness abound, leaving you feeling even more inadequate. Schools refer you to mental health professionals to assist with the emotionally intense behaviors, potentially resulting in misdiagnoses and little in the way of relief at home. And as the negative feelings build, your child increases the intensity of her behaviors, adding fuel to the fire. The result? A chaotic household with few resources available to help. That's where this book comes in. Designed to provide support for the difficult job of parenting gifted children, Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students: Helping Kids Cope With Explosive Feelings (2nd ed.) provides the resource you need to not only understand why gifted children are so extreme in their behavior, but also learn specific strategies to teach your children how to live with their intensity. This second edition puts increased emphasis on strategies to help within the home setting, as well as expanding the sections on dually exceptional children, the impact of cultural and gender issues, and the most recent research regarding the social and emotional needs of gifted children. Presented in a readable and practical format, case studies and role-playing scenarios bring the information to life to provide you with the tools needed to make a positive and lasting impact on your child.
