Last month, my daughter got into the Discovery gifted program at her school. And, I must say she seems to be doing better. She is such an awesome kid - so smart - smarter than me. But she is so intense. her feelings are all over the place.I read Emotional Intensity when it came out last year and am excited about Christine's next one.
I met Christine last year at SCBWI and she opened my eyes. (not to mention she is funny and adorable.) She's a school psychologist and so so smart.
Emotional Intensity for the Gifted Child was her first book.This book helps parents and teachers understand why your gifted child is so
intense and helps them understand how to work through their emotions and frustrations.
It helped me see that all the questions and - what looks like defiance - and independence.
You can look inside the book to see if it is for you here.
Now, she has another one coming out: 101 Success Secrets for Gifted Children
