When parents and teachers think about gifted kids they - not surprisingly - focus on their intellectual needs. But gifted kids are much more than test grades. Delisle and Galbraith take a close-up look at gifted kids from the inside out. Topics include: * Self-image and self-esteem * Perfectionism * Multipotential * Depression and stress * Feelings of 'being different' The authors suggest ways to help gifted underachievers and those who are bored in school, along with ways to encourage healthy relationships.
