Guides for Parents of Gifted Children Released
This month, we've released three exciting new books that I think will be fantastic resources for parents of gifted children. Each book focuses on a different area of talent and offers parents practical ways to help encourage their children in those areas. With this series (we're calling it the
Involved Parents' Guide series), I wanted to create a series of handbooks for partents that would offer guidance and resources for specifics areas of talent. With these first three books, we've targeted the talent areas of math, science, and writing.

The Involved Parents' Guide series, an exciting new addition to Prufrock Press' line of parenting materials for use with gifted children and advanced learners. These three books are filled with useful, practical, and engaging advice for parents who want to help their child's natural talents thrive.
