The nurtured heart says to describe what you see your kid doing out loud and in detail as if describing to a blind person, at random five times a day- when things are normal, not good or bad. Just to show we see and notice them.
I could see that particular bit there backfiring with a gifted kid. It's pointing out the obvious, and they might decide the parents are being stupid. They're going to decide they're smarter than us eventually, but I'm not planning to rush the process.
Otherwise, solid advice all around. Though I have to say I'm surprised that someone felt the need to write a book telling parents to play with their kids.
