What is Losing Our Minds : Gifted Children Left Behind about?
If you are wondering if your child might be highly or even profoundly gifted, this book is for you. Written for parents, it will be of interest to educators, psychologists as well. The author groups 89 highly intelligent children into five different levels of intelligence based on the age at which they reached various developmental milestones. The case examples illustrate the different levels of giftedness, including problems that can occur, especially with schools. Parents who read this book will be able to compare their own child to children in the different levels, and thus roughly estimate their child’s IQ. From the child’s early precocity, to difficulties in finding education options, to surviving middle school, the case examples for each level are fascinating and informative. <ul> <li>Developmental Milestones</li> <li>Levels of Giftedness</li> <li>Confusion over IQ tests and scores</li> <li>What a Smart Child Looks Like</li> <li>Family Dynamics</li> <li>Ongoing Issues with Schools</li> </ul> <p>Legacy Book Award Winner! </p>
