It’s nice to be mentioned in the news. Recently, both this blog and my book, Raising a Gifted Child: A Parenting Success Handbook, have been acknowledged in various articles. I’m both pleased and proud to let you know about them.

Bizymoms.com recently called Prufrock's Gifted Child Information Blog one of the best blogs for parents on the Internet. The online magazine also posted an extensive interview about both the blog and my book, Raising a Gifted Child.

Patti Ghezzi wrote an article titled, Help Your Gifted Child Succeed in School, for the online magazine School Family.com. The article referred extensively to Raising a Gifted Child and provided advice from the book.

 

The goal of both this blog and my book, Raising a Gifted Child, is to provide teachers and parents with a wide variety of options for working with gifted kids. Both are filled with tips, ideas, and resources for every topic imaginable associated with gifted education.

 

Prufrock’s Gifted Child Information Blog has been in existence since March 2005. That’s five years of weekly entries, totaling approximately 260 offerings. A search function is available at the website, making it easy for you to search for topics of personal interest. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, e-mail me (an e-mail link is provided at the bottom of my biography) and make a request.

 

Raising a Gifted Child: A Parenting Success Handbook is a compilation of the first three years of this blog, organized by topic and sprinkled with real stories of gifted kids and their families. Perhaps the most useful part of the book is the chapter on specific subjects. This is the place to turn if you have a child who has a high aptitude or passion for a subject. For instance, if your student is especially good at math, you will find a number of suggestions for teaching methods, distance learning, supplementary materials, and competitions.

 

Hopefully, all of these resources will help to support the very bright children with whom you live or work. There is so much out there, but it’s difficult to find the time to search these resources out. I hope that you will let me do some of the work for you. Tell me what you need and I will do my best to find it for you.
