There are many forms of giftedness: athletic, musical, linguistic, emotional, social, and so on. Intellectual giftedness occupies a special place in this spectrum because it is often neither recognized nor taken into account, which can lead to behavioral issues. Gifted children are often anything but happy. This doesn’t have to be the case. In their counseling practice, the authors, both trained psychologists, have been able to provide practical support for everyday parenting in countless cases and draw from a wealth of experience for this book. Parents, educators, and teachers can benefit from this. "We want to encourage affected parents and educators to also take new paths. Trying something new gives parents the chance to see their children with fresh eyes and thus achieve a more satisfying coexistence.".
