I am looking for more good books on raising a gifted child- I've got Dr. Ruf's book- "Losing Our Minds" and found it really helpful/affirming.
I am a parent that definitely goes through gifted-denial phases where I think it must all be in my head, and then my DS does something that just blows us all away and I realize I can't deny that he is gifted...It is a lonely feeling at times and Dr. Ruf's case studies/family stories helped me feel supported in a way...

Any resources/books you enjoy??
