This book was a recommended read by the psychologist who did DD's testing. For my HG+, 2e, never-knew-she-was-so-smart DD, it was a good read because it really got us to thinking about how important it was to keep treating her like an ordinary child. The only thing that had changed was a label... she was the same child as she had always been before we knew. Something about knowing the IQ result initially had us thinking that she needed to prove how smart she was to everyone.
Instead of pushing her to 'live up to her potential', we got the message that we should help her discover her own strengths and encourage her to pursue activities that would use them. For what it is worth, we are still looking for a lot of those strengths. But, everytime I start to think that she needs to be pushed (and hard, with both hands!), I remember that book.
