Raising Your Child to Be Gifted: Recipes for Parent Involvement in Their Child's Learning

As author Dr. James Reed Campbell states in the introduction of his book, Raising Your Child to Be Gifted, nurture outweighs nature when it comes to shaping a child's learning habits. Moving beyond the usual genetic explanations for giftedness, he presents powerful evidence from parents of gifted children, who believe their involvement--using very specific methods of working with and nurturing their child-- played a key role in developing their child's academic aptitude in school.

These "recipes" for success, as Dr. Campbell refers to them, were collected from the parents of gifted children from the US, Japan, Greece, and China--nations known for putting a high premium on education.
