Description: "Growing up as a child with exceptional abilities is not easy. If we are to help such children develop into confident and well-adjusted young people, we need to understand what can lie behind some of their common frustrations and the problems they sometimes experience in forming relationships. Drawing on theories of child development and on research into the processes of learning, this book examines issues which emerge at the various stages of a child's growth, from early infancy to adolescence, and discusses ways in which parents, teachers and schools can create supportive learning environments." "The first edition of the book, published as Helping the Child of Exceptional Abilities, has been extensively re-written to take account of recent research and developments in education. It will be of particular interest to parents, teachers and educational psychologists, to teachers in training, and to other professionals who support the work of schools."--Jacket.
