Intended for parents and teachers of gifted and talented children, the book discusses identification criteria and educational strategies for developing their potential. Case studies of gifted and talented children are cited and a checklist of common characteristics is provided. Suggestions are given for fostering creativity in the home; and special problems of the gifted are explained to include underachievement, cultural differences, and learning difficulties. Answers are presented to parents' questions about raising a gifted child and guidelines are given for developing a parent organization. Among appendixes are a bibliography, resource listing, and directory of state parent organizations for the gifted. (CL)
