Memorable Quote “There's so much more now about what to do when you're raising a gifted child… but, very little looking at what the parents are going through and their experiences and as we know, raising a gifted or twice exceptional child is challenging in ways that folks with neurotypical kids may not experience. A lot of the intensity and heightened sensitivity and quirkiness and asynchronous development, all of that make it a more challenging job, on top of the fact that it often falls on parents to advocate in the schools or figure out some way of patching together a more enriching education for them. So it's quite a challenge and that leaves families with a lot of emotions that are really hard to talk about… there's very little that's written about it.” – Dr Gail Post Resources Book: The Gifted Parenting Journey by Dr Gail Post Gifted Challenges Website Gifted Challenges Facebook Gifted Challenges Twitter Dr Gail Post Website Bio Gail Post, Ph.D. is a Clinical Psychologist, parenting consultant, workshop leader, and writer.
