Extremely Gifted and Highly Sensitive

Gifted youngsters – how they tick and what they need

Puberty is a difficult time both for young people and their parents – and that is especially the case for gifted children. Emotional struggles and social conflict have an extreme impact on gifted youngsters and affect their lives throughout puberty and beyond. The book’s authors have spent many years accompanying gifted youngsters and have identified proven strategies for supporting them. The stories told in this book focus on sensitivity and stubbornness, envy and marginalisation, self-doubt and significant unease as well as life post-school. This book serves to help parents and teachers to understand gifted youngsters and support them as much as possible in making a successful transition to adulthood.
