ABSTRACT
Parenting is a difficult job. The readers aren’t given a manual when you have a child, and there’s no survival guide to tell they what to do. Things complicate further if their child is lucky enough to be gifted. People tell them it’ll be easy raising a bright child, leaving them frustrated when their child begins to act a little intense. Frustrated and resentful, you turn to other family members, friends, and the school looking for help. But the same misguided assumptions about giftedness abound, leaving you feeling even more inadequate. Schools refer you to mental health professionals to assist with the emotionally intense behaviors, but few professionals understand the realities of neurodiversity. Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students was designed to be a reference guide for parents and educators.
