I like the workbook version co written by Lisa Bravo the best. I think it show promise as a way to disipline gifted kids who are intense. I like that it doesn't. Accuse the kids of being manipulative and still gives parents something positive to do.
I found that as a gifted parent I was also am prone to being excitable and can be a reinforced by intense negative emotions if I'm not being fully aware. I was already a fan of 'The Dog Whisperer' on TV and there is a very funny South Park episode where Cesar Milan shows up to coach Eric Cartmans Mom.
Anyway, a great place to start is just to carry a pencil and paper in ones pocket and made a hatchmark on the paper everytime you see any behavior of your child that is positive. You don't have to say a thing just challenge yourself to count your blessings. It is eyeopening for many.
