Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy trouble at school, any ideas?

I think visiting a child psychologist who specializes in the social and emotional needs of the gifted is a great idea. It would be useful to have a relationship established early and lay the groundwork now instead of waiting for a major trauma later. The psychologist can help explain what giftedness means, how these types of misunderstandings will be a part of life for your son, and how he can best deal with them. The cost is the only thing holding me back from making an appointment for my own children, but I will probably bite the bullet soon. In the meantime, I found A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children by James Webb very useful.
