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. Part I explains what it means to be gifted. With this explanation comes information on the talents, troubles, and temperaments of gifted children and how these things vary depending on gender, learning disabilities, and mental health concerns. Part II outlines strategies that can be used to help gifted children understand and work through their explosive feelings. Finally, Part III focuses on the relationship, performance, and behavior issues that may come about in the life of a gifted child, and the author provides sample dialogues of successful ways to coach children through these issues. 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. Reviewer: Lynndy Hurdle; Ages 11 to Adult.
