High IQ Kids
Living with a gifted child calls for unique skills. From the unusual perspective to unexpected frustrations, unusually bright children offer up a range of parenting challenges. On January 21 we talk with Judy Fort Brenneman, editor and contributor for the book: High IQ Kids: Collected Insights, Information, and Personal Stories from the Experts’.
High IQ Kids is a collection of insights, tips for advocacy, inspiration and personal stories from experts on gifted children- including parents who have been there, done that. Issues such as testing, homeschooling, behavior and social skills are seen as they relate to highly intelligent kids.
