Discusses instances in which creativity, giftedness, and talents may be promoted in young children at preschool and in the early grades. In the socioemotional domain, the author emphasizes teacher creativity in helping children toward more mature solutions to the emotional tasks of early childhood, which will enable them to take steps toward creativity. Children will have to trust their caregivers as the more toward generating new hypotheses about the world and also to feel comfortable with such ambiguities. The author discusses the benefits of small peer groups in encouraging creativity, and various social devices used by teachers for promoting creativity.

Discusses the development of creativity in children through the Enrichment Triad Model (J. S. Renzulli, 1976), which was originally developed to provide children with the opportunity to develop their above-average abilities, creativity, and task commitment as was based on a central premise: If we give children the opportunities to become involved in self-selected, creative, productive work in school, this will increase the likelihood that the will emerge as creatively productive adults in whatever area they select as their future work. Two kinds of giftedness are examined: Schoolhouse giftedness and creative-productive giftedness. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

Helps psychologists and educators (1) see a clearer picture of moral principles and their relationship to brainpower; (2) appreciate more fully how giftedness carries with it potential for evil as well as good; and (3) explore the possibilities of interweaving "duties of the heart" with brilliance of the mind. Topics discussed include origins and applications of moral code; subjectivity in defining morality; some ideational visions of morality; the compatibility of giftedness and morality; extra cautions in interpreting relevant evidence; and teaching moral values to the gifted and the non-gifted.

Notes that transpersonal experience are experiences that go beyond individual consciousness, but this does not in itself qualify them as spiritual. The author believes there must be a criterion by which these experiences can be regarded as genuinely spiritual. Such a criterion was offered by W. James: inner communion with a higher universe engages a person in the the process of inner transformation. The observable consequences are the person appearing more centered, at peace, and loving toward others. People who have done the work of inner transformation—Gandhi, E. Roosevelt, E. Hillesum, Peace Pilgrim—all stress that the world changes for the better as a function of individual human beings' changing for the better: inner peace is the necessary condition of world peace.

Notes that heterogeneity of dealing with issues in the education of the gifted is difficult to manage.

Topics discussed include the International Study Group for Early Child Care; lack of consensus about what giftedness means and who is gifted; security and shared beliefs; governmental and constitutional issues; school issues; and transition to college. Accelerative options for secondary school are appended. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

Suggests that for many years, little attention was paid to the psychological needs of gifted individuals because of a belief, based on past research, that the gifted were generally well adjusted and not in need of any special services. In recent years, however, there has been recognition of career, family, and personal adjustment issues that might be particularly relevant to gifted individuals. Based on that information, counselors can play a vital role in enhancing the experiences and at times easing the stresses of those whose lives are touched by giftedness.
