Personal Review: Helping Gifted Children Soar: A Practical
Guide for Parents and Teachers by Gretchen Hirsch
Helping Gifted Children Soar by Carol A. Strip and Gretchen Hirsch is an
unparalleled tool for the parents and teachers of gifted children. Written in
a clear, concise style, this book is a fairly easy and very informative read.
Containing in-depth details on a wide range of topics including determining
if your child is gifted as compared to smart; selecting appropriate teachers
and schools; investigating various learning methods; recognizing the
characteristics of good gifted programs; and communicating effectively
with parents/teachers, this guide will teach you how to successfully
advocate for your child in the public school system.
Helping Gifted Child Soar walks you through the physical, social,
intellectual, and emotional aspects of a gifted child. It is filled with real life
examples and scenarios which illustrate the ups and downs of raising a
gifted child. Unfortunately, gifted children are often ridiculed by others,
because these children are frequently insecure and lacking in social skills.
It is important to remember that gifted children have "special needs," and
this book provides wonderful insight into the nurturing of those special
needs and talents. It also contains a very valuable reference section, as
well an informative question and answer section. A Spanish version is
available: Ayudando a Los Ninos Dotados a Volar: Una Guia Practica
Para Padres Y Maestros .
I gave this book and its companion, A Love for Learning: Motivation and
the Gifted Child, to my daughter's teachers. At two, she communicated
beautifully with them, but had much obvious frustration talking to her peers.
They simply could not understand her advanced verbal skills and interests.
Additionally, if she didn't know a word for something, she would often
create one of her own. These two books have been a boon for both her
teachers and for her. She is much happier, and they are helping her to
work at her own level and pace. Everyone is much happier.
