What To Do When Your Kid Is Smarter Than You

A hilarious survival guide for any parent of a terrifyingly gifted or "just plain terrific" kid. Ms. Levitt justly examines the issues surrounding how to raise a gifted child that not only succeeds, but flourishes. In a world where the pressure to conform threatens to extinguish creativity and enthusiasm, a parent's ability to nurture curiosity at home and fashion a positive school experience is key to helping them meet their potential. Laced with anecdotes of raising 4 gifted and terrific kids herself, and her 30 years experience in the field of education educating exceptional learners, Ms. Levitt writes with well founded expertise and great insight. This book has all the nuggets of knowledge needed to be an effective parent in the 21st century with a lot of laughs along the way.
