Gifted children can be overwhelming; parents must navigate a maze of heightened intensity  asynchronous development  and astonishing intellectual abilities. These challenges and the emotions they evoke are not always easy to discuss with friends or professionals unfamiliar with giftedness. As a result  parents of gifted children often struggle in relative silence  reluctant to voice their concerns.  Most books on raising gifted children focus on the child  paying little attention to the parents unique experience. This book  instead  will guide parents along their gifted parenting journey  exploring what they might worry about and feel. How they can weather and even thrive despite roadblocks to their childs education  criticism from others based on stereotypes  and their own self-doubts. Understanding their thoughts and feelings - and distinguishing these emotions from what their child needs - is key to making informed parenting decisions.  Throughout this book  parents are invited to discover more about their deeper emotions and motivations  what influences their attitudes and expectations  and how certain reactions are elicited in response to the gifted experience. Readers will be prompted to explore questions that should increase self-awareness  and are offered both practical tools for managing their emotions and guidelines for improving their parenting skills.  Dr. Post provides the latest research  clinical vignettes  and insight based on decades of experience as a psychologist. Findings from a recent online survey of 428 parents of gifted children  initiated for the purpose of this book  explore what other parents want readers to know. While this book is specifically geared toward parents of the gifted  it also offers guidance for anyone interested in understanding gifted children and their families: grandparents  extended family  caregivers  teachers  and other professionals. The guidance  support  and increased self-awareness acquired through this book should enhance parents well-being and confidence along their gifted parenting journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45815834443829,"sku":"ByrdShop_1953360157","price":48.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781953360151.jpg?v=1785174590","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-gifted-parenting-journey-a-guide-to-selfdiscovery-and-support-for-families-of-gifted-children-9781953360151","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
