Growing Up Gifted: Developing the Potential of Children at School and at Home 8th Edition

I just started reading this book, but it has proven to be interesting and helpful already. The text defines intelligence and the gifted learner. It discusses brain research and has a great comparison by using the hands. I will share this analogy with my students so they can better understand their own brain function and thinking. There are helpful tips for parents and teachers based on the research findings. I can see myself using this book in the future as a resource.

liked the book, had some great advice for teaching/developing gifted learners and will keep around as a reference. I did not give it 5 stars because some times the wording wasn't fluid which made some chapters difficult to read...not to mention each chapter is about 70-80 pages...plan ahead!

This book is filled with great information but it is not an easy read. My professor is allowing us to use this book more than once and hopefully as I continue to read, it gets easier.

Very good textbook. Gets a bit wordy at some times, but overall 4 out of 5 stars. Has a lot of references to relevant studies.

I learned a lot reading about gifted students while reading this book.

Very informative and gives a great overview of gifted and talented students, programs, and other specifics related to the field.

This book seems to repeat a lot of things I already know about gifted education and seemed redundant to me. It's not that friendly to the reading eyes. Though it does have a lot of good information in it.

New edition of this book is substantially thinner. Not sure why yet, need to read the book more thoroughly.Very good price compared to last edition.Product arrived on time and in great condition. Would buy again.
