Description
Do you think your child isn't getting the education he or she needs to stay chal- lenged and excited about learning? Does your son have a talent that isn't getting noticed? Does your daughter have potential that isn't being developed? Does your child do average work at school-but brilliant work at home? Don't give up-turn your concerns into action.
This practical guide makes you a powerful advocate for your child at school-and at home. You'll learn what giftedness is (and isn't), how to recognize your child's gifts, how to understand his or her school problems, and how to find out your dis- trict's policy on gifted education. You'll explore various options for your child's education and learn how to communicate effectively with the school and district, connect with other parents, and provide enrichment at home. You'll discover your rights as a parent-and the benefits of taking a stand. Real-life examples show how any parent, in any situation, can advocate for his or her child.
