A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children: A Resource for Parents and Advocates
$28.95
Foreword by Arlene R. Devries, M.S.E.
A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children (2007), the quintessential compendium of raising gifted children, has been revised! In this new edition, coauthors Edward R. Amend Psy.D., Emily Kircher-Morris, LPC, and Janet Gore, M.Ed. reinforce the reliable approaches originally explored in the first edition, while drawing extensively on the wealth of research and information developed over the last 15 years in the areas of neuroscience, psychology, and education. Our children are navigating a world that in many crucial ways is quite different from the one that existed in 2007. The new Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children includes issues of social media, screen time, LGBTQ, and bullying. For gifted children however, many of the needs remain the same- advocacy, educational planning, access to true peers, and more. Rich in information and strategies, this edition will be referred to time and time again whether you are entirely new to gifted, completing your “active” parenting days, or supporting a gifted grandchild, student, or client.

About the Author
Edward R. Amend, Psy.D., is a Clinical Psychologist at The Amend Group in Lexington, Kentucky. The Amend Group is a comprehensive center for psychological, educational, and gifted services. Dr. Amend is licensed to provide services in both Kentucky and Ohio, and his work focuses on the social, emotional, psychological, and educational needs of gifted, talented, and twice-exceptional (2e) youth and their families.
Emily Kircher-Morris, M.A., M.Ed., LPC, is a mental health counselor for gifted and twice-exceptional people and host of “The Neurodiversity Podcast.” Growing up as a twice-exceptional kid led her to pursue supporting neurodivergent kids for her career. She has two identified twice-exceptional kids, and her youngest is still to be determined.
Janet L. Gore, M.Ed., has over 30 years experience with gifted and talented students and their families, first as a teacher and later as a school administrator, guidance counselor, policy maker, state director, and parent. She is co author of two award winning books, A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children, and Grandparents’ Guide to Gifted Children. For five years she worked as a designated counselor/advocate for gifted high school students in Tucson, Arizona, and for three years served as State Director of Gifted Education in Arizona where she helped to draft legislation.
A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children has long been a foundational piece in the literature about gifted children. The new second edition brings a much-needed update to this pivotal work. With sections dedicated to neurodiversity within the framework of twice-exceptionality, gifted adults, self-regulation, trauma, and finding support, the second edition of A Parent’s Guide to Gifted Children provides much-needed explanation and resources to parents, educators, and all advocates who aim to ensure that gifted children can best realize their potential. Amend, Kircher-Morris, and Gore have done an outstanding job with this new edition, highlighting the latest research and adding valuable insight to current conversations within gifted and twice-exceptional populations. An important and necessary read that should be part of every GT library. – Christine Fonesca, LEP, author of Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students and Raising the Shy Child.
