Book: Bright Complex Kids: Supporting Their Social and Emotional Development
Many bright and gifted kids do not feel understood or supported. For adults wanting to change that, Bright, Complex Kids provides guidance for gaining entrance to their internal world. This practical and easy-to-use field guide includes ideas for how and why to:
listen and respond
self-monitor adult biases
avoid communicating awe of high ability because of the potential impact on trust and openness
apply knowledge of learning disabilities
help high-ability children and teens make sense of themselves
Well-known gifted experts Jean Sunde Peterson, Ph.D., and Daniel B. Peters, Ph.D., wrote Bright, Complex Kids to be an accessible short course for adults wanting to build a base of knowledge for understanding and supporting the social and emotional needs of highly able children and teens. From how adults can be involved to insights on the social and emotional development of bright kids, each chapter has a section with “points to ponder.”
