Christine Fonseca has worked in the field of education for more than a decade. Relying on her expertise as a school psychologist, behavioral consultant, speaker, and parenting expert, she has been a resource for parents and children in understanding the social and emotional needs of gifted children.
A useful guide for all learners, not just those who identify as
gifted
Parents and teachers may find the plentitude of model dialogues
with students, the analysis of where the dialogue went wrong, and
the examples of improved conversations helpful in a variety of
contexts with a variety of learners.
This book's simple-to-use strategies and breakdowns of common
school and home-based issues also make it a strong choice for a PTA
book club read.,Amy Estersohn,MiddleWeb, 8/25/16
Emotional Intensity In Gifted Students is a resource that can help
parents and teachers understand why gifted children have such
passionate—and sometimes explosive—feelings and behaviors . . .
Special worksheets, checklists, and tip sheets are included. These
features recap the material covered in the chapter and provide
specific directions about how to implement the information in real
life. At the end of certain chapters, there are sections called
“Notes to the Teacher.” These sections can help educators make a
positive impact on the gifted children in their classrooms. The
resources and references at the book's conclusion increase the
reliability of the information presented. This book would be
beneficial for parents and teachers of gifted children. ,Lynndy
