Book Review

This book is written with the help of hundreds of gifted teenagers and acts as a guide to other gifted teens on how to survive and thrive in a world that doesn’t always value, support or understand high ability. The book is full of step-by-step strategies, practical ‘how-tos’ and essays contributed by gifted young people and adults. The Gifted Kids Survival Guide gives teenagers the tools that they may need to understand giftedness, accept it as an asset and employ it to ‘make the most of who you are.

Topics covered include; how to find friends who are right for you, how to talk to parents (and six reasons why parents are the way they are), how to handle teen angst, how to be ‘net smart’ and have safe, fun online relationships, the latest facts about teen suicide and how you can intervene with a troubled friend.

Truly an outstanding publication.
