Product Description

High IQ Kids: Collected Insights, Information, and Personal Stories from the Experts is the first ever collection of articles, stories, and advice on "profoundly gifted" children, those whose IQs test closer to 200 than to 100 (the defined average). Profoundly gifted kids often get the least help in school. It’s assumed they’re smart enough to succeed on their own, plus teachers (and parents) feel out of their depth with these unique kids. A blend of personal stories and practical strategies, scholarly articles and entertaining essays from a community of voices—parents, educators, authors, researchers, and other experts—this book addresses the joys and challenges of raising and teaching, living with and understanding exceptionally gifted kids of all ages. Recommended for any adult who wants to know more (and may be desperate to know more) about high-IQ kids and how to support them, advocate for them, and meet their social, emotional, and learning needs. Edited by Kiesa Kay, Deborah Robson, and Judy Fort Brenneman. Contributors include Karen Rogers, Ph.D., Carolyn Kottmeyer, Sally Reis, Ph.D., Joyce VanTassel-Baska, Ed.D., Miraca U. M. Gross, Ph.D., Marilyn Walker, Ph.D., and many more.
