Title
Gifted children: Myths and realities
Abstract
Gifted children—children years ahead of their peers—have long inspired fascination, envy, fear, and rejection. Misconceptions about children with special abilities abound. In this . . . book, Ellen Winner uncovers and explores 9 myths about giftedness, and shows us what these children are really like.
Using vivid case studies, Winner paints a complex picture of the gifted child.
Winner uses her research with these and several other extraordinary children, as well as the latest biological and psychological evidence, to debunk the many myths about academic, musical, and artistic giftedness.
[This book] also looks at the role played by schools in fostering exceptional abilities. Winner castigates schools for wasting resources on weak educational programs for the moderately gifted. Instead, she advocates elevating standards for all children and focusing our resources for gifted education on those with extreme abilities—children who are left untouched by the kinds of minimal programs we have today.

abstractTranslation: Los niños superdotados, niños años antes que sus compañeros, han inspirado durante mucho tiempo fascinación, envidia, miedo y rechazo. Abundan los conceptos erróneos sobre los niños con habilidades especiales. En este . . . El libro Ellen Winner descubre y explora 9 mitos sobre la superdotación y nos muestra cómo son realmente estos niños. Usando estudios de casos vívidos, Winner pinta una imagen compleja del niño superdotado. Winner utiliza su investigación con estos y otros niños extraordinarios, así como las últimas pruebas biológicas y psicológicas, para desacreditar los muchos mitos sobre los superdotes académicos, musicales y artísticos. [Este libro] también analiza el papel que desempeñan las escuelas en el fomento de habilidades excepcionales. Winner critica a las escuelas por desperdiciar recursos en programas educativos débiles para los moderadamente dotados. En cambio, aboga por elevar los estándares para todos los niños y enfocar nuestros recursos para la educación de superdotados en aquellos con habilidades extremas, niños que no se ven afectados por los tipos de programas mínimos que tenemos hoy.
