The Gifted Kids' Survival Guide: For Ages 10 & Under Review

This book is written for the bright child himself, to help him figure out how to appreciate his own abilities while recognizing that "brighter than" does not mean "better than."

How do you, a bright kid, deal with kids who like you because you are smart and funny, yet don't like you for the same reasons? Why do the kids you talk to and play with act in such conflicting ways? What can you do to build friendships? ("Don't be a show-off." "Don't try to make everything go your way -- be willing to compromise." "Be patient with people who don't see things in the same way you do." "Be kind, caring, honest, trustworthy and a good listener.")

In many ways, this is the book I should have read when I was growing up! I must have been a pretty obnoxious kid/adult until I figured out all these things for myself.

Customer Reviews

An excellent resource for kids, parents, and teachers - Texas Rose - ALBANY, GA USA
This is an excellent resource for bright and gifted children. The author indicates that it is for ages 10 and under, and I would suggest using it with a child as soon as the child is old enough to comprehend the issues even is he/she cannot yet read it all.

The book has excellent tips and questions for the child to think about and is a great starter for conversations between the parent and child. As an educator, I think this book would be a great classroom reader to use in a small group with talented/bright/gifted kids so that they can have the conversations with each other

The book also talks about how kids can manage the teasing from others, the lack of understanding from teachers and adults, and in general their own self worth.

Being excluded from some of your peers can be confusing, even for the brightest young mind. Now in a revised, updated, and expanded third edition, "The Gifted Kids' Survival Guide" is a guide for young gifted and talented children who may not think their talents are a gift.
