Book Synopsis Perfectionism and Gifted Children by : Rosemary S. Callard-Szulgit

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents and educators expect gifted children to be well-behaved, studious, and hard working. Why, then, do so many have trouble in school? According to Dr. Rosemary Callard-Szulgit, perfectionism—the number one social-emotional trait of gifted children—can actually immobilize some children and cause social adjustment problems for others. This explains why so many of today's gifted children do not, or cannot, complete school assignments or even follow through on personal responsibilities. During her forty-five year career, Callard-Szulgit has helped hundreds of students and their parents recover from the harmful effects of being perfectionists. In her second edition of Perfectionism and Gifted Children, Callard-Szulgit provides practical insight into perfectionism, discussing why so many gifted children are perfectionists while also providing common sense solutions to the problems this presents. This book will be helpful to families and educators of gifted students, as well as to gifted children themselves. The expanded question and answer section will better help parents and teachers ease children’s anxieties and behaviors that stem from the problems of perfectionism. Appendixes list current associations and advocacy groups, Internet resources, journals and magazines that address the special needs of the gifted and talented.

Download or read book Gifted Child written by Angela Wayning and published by Self Publisher. This book was released on 2020-05-16 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many parents wonder about their gifted children. They wonder where their intelligence came from, or why they behave the way they do.

This puzzles parents, and answers need to be given. This book does just that.

Download or read book Giftedness written by Angela Wayning and published by Self Publisher. This book was released on 2020-05-16 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a bundle of three different books, all related to giftedness, which are: Book 1: What causes a gifted child to be emotionally driven and highly empathetic? How come an intelligent person is typically self-motivated and self-disciplined to the extreme? The explanation lies in the fact that gifted people make a lot of connections in their brains. These connotations from interrelated facts and observations cause them to become both dramatic and extremely excited about occurrences in life, depending on what it is. Dabrowski, a scientist and psychologist, called this quality “overexcitability.” Book 2: Sometimes, parents think high grades is a good thing, and it can be. But did you know that this is not always the case? Did you know that some gifted children actually underachieve for various reasons? And then comes the big question: Should you tell a child that he or she is gifted? What are the pros and cons of doing so? Don’t remain in the dark. The achievements of gifted students are the consequences of their psyche, but it’s a vulnerable process to stimulate that intelligence in the right way. To do so, this book can help you along the way. Book 3: Gifted children are typically a bit more advanced in their thinking, but they still need to be taught how to apply that intelligence towards practical goals. This is where problem-solving skills come in. This book devotes at least one chapter to that topic. Aside from that, there are gold nuggets to be found about homework dilemma’s, dealing with depressive minds or sadness, and the existential, gloomy questions that lurk in a gifted person’s mind about the far-fetched problems in the world, or even in the universe.

Download or read book Giftedness written by Angela Wayning and published by Self Publisher. This book was released on 2020-05-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take advantage of this three-book bundle, which gives you a better deal than if you were to just buy one of them. The book contains the following titles: Title 1: Gifted children often have a hard time staying focused on one thing, unless it’s something they are passionate about. Then they are hyper-focused. This and other problems can be address when talking to teachers, as well as the fact that some gifted kids seem to underachieve for various reasons. The best ways to motivate your gifted children are here, as well as tactics to deal with bullies, which often target more sensitive and intelligent children. Bullying is one of the last topics addressed in this guide: How to talk about it with the teacher, how to avoid becoming a target more quickly, and how to make it go away. Title 2: In this brief guide to giftedness, we will assess and critically examine the results of IQ-tests and their significance. We will also look at the homework problems many gifted children face, with their particular set of grey matter, and why schools often fail to meet the needs of those same children, because let’s face it: The schools often have no clue what to do with them, how to challenge them properly, or how to adapt a program to their constant drive to explore, discover, and be more creative. Title 3: Most gifted children are intelligent because their senses are sharp and intense, and this can result in strong feelings of self-reflection and dramas over nothing. Sometimes, they may say that things that are easy, are actually hard, or they are unwilling to push through with certain things. So, how do you deal with that? In this book, we’ll talk about that, as well as some of the prevention efforts to make sure your highly intelligent child won’t become the victim of bullying. We’ll also touch on the question of whether you should homeschool your child or not, something that many parents struggle with.
Book Synopsis Goodness Personified by : Leslie Margolin
Download or read book Goodness Personified written by Leslie Margolin and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Goodness Personified, Leslie Margolin challenges the most common assumptions underlying gifted education. His analysis of the gifted child movement shows how scholars formed the concept of giftedness in their writings, how they provided detailed documentation of the characteristics such children were thought to embody, and how they managed to spread that vision to a community of believers. In doing so, he demonstrates that social "assets" as well as social "problems" can be viewed as social constructions, the products of competing claims
