Gifted child

Every parent and teacher wants children to be happy and successful. But gifted children are so specific that their motivations, behaviour, thinking and experiences can be misinterpreted by those around them, causing them distress, misunderstanding and problems; both at home and at school. The intellect, memory, perceptiveness, sensitivity and curiosity of gifted children are phenomenal from an early age, but in some areas development can be uneven or even delayed. Therefore, they require a specific approach. Raising and educating these children can be very challenging and even stressful for adults, leaving them in situations of helplessness and exhaustion.

This book enables parents and teachers of these children to look under the hood and thereby bring understanding, insight and unconditional acceptance to these children. It offers them practical recommendations for education as well as specific exercises, techniques and methods of education – with one goal in mind: for gifted children to be happy, to be able to fully develop their extraordinary potential and talents, to work on their weaknesses and to succeed in life. The book can also be read by gifted adults who want to understand more about their inner (gifted) child.

The author, an experienced therapist, empathetically and engagingly brings to the Czech market for the first time a comprehensive treatment of gifted children based on personal experience, the latest knowledge and real stories of these children.
