Raising Gifted and Talented Children: The Complete Guide to Understanding, Supporting and Nurturing Your Exceptionally Able Child

Discovering your child is gifted brings pride, excitement — and genuine uncertainty about what it actually means and how to support them well. Raising Gifted and Talented Children is a complete, UK-focused guide that goes beyond the assumption that ability alone guarantees success, addressing the real challenges — asynchronous development, emotional intensity, perfectionism, underachievement, and social difficulty — that so often accompany high ability.

Covering identification and assessment, twice-exceptional children, educational options from enrichment to acceleration, school advocacy, home enrichment, and parent wellbeing, this guide gives parents a genuinely balanced, evidence-informed foundation for nurturing both the strengths and the real needs of an exceptionally able child.
