Gifted kids are like Ferraris: brilliant, powerful, and wired differently. But when every parenting book hands you advice designed for a Toyota, things keep breaking down. Master educator and gifted specialist Sarah Strouthopoulos draws on 25+ years of work with intense, sensitive children to reveal why conventional approaches backfire, and what actually helps these kids flourish. You'll walk away with a fresh lens on your child's big emotions, perfectionism, and intensity, as well as practical strategies to work with that wiring, not against it.
