Abstract
Gifted people are driven by a force that is greater than the norm and the effects are not only experienced in positive results, but permeates every facets of a person’s life in childhood and adulthood. Parents and teachers of gifted children require a different approach in order to help the gifted child become fully self-realized.
An article by Linda Kreger Silverman, PhD. [Almost fourteen pages of single-spaced text. Worth the read if you or someone you care about struggles with the issue of giftedness.]
Wow, amazing article. Thank you so much! It’s given me great insight into what my daughter could be experiencing, as well as a filter through which I can review my own childhood experiences and frustrations.

Dr. Silverman is a wealth of information. If you are experiencing giftedness in your daughter, there is a likelihood that you’ll find some “gifted areas” in your self. One of the greatest challenges in parenting is allowing our children to soar…even when we are unable to teach them how.
I wish you ALL the best in your quest.
Peace…
