| This book is a great resource for getting started with homeschooling a gifted child. The author not only gives good resources, she also opens up the reader's mind to thinking outside of the box. For instance, she suggests events that would often be considered "adult only" such as book clubs as a means of broadening the depth of your child's homeschooling experience. The only reason I put four stars instead of five is that this book is more useful for newer homeschoolers than seasoned parents who have been homeschooling for some time. Even for more experienced homeschoolers, there are some useful suggestions and resources to be found, though. |
A must-have for all gifted educators

| While this book is intended for parents of gifted children who are intending to home school, this book is essential for any educator of gifted children. There are many resources given for gifted children in the classroom, as well as home school resources. Lisa Rivero gives a general yet thorough description of the special and unique qualities and needs of gifted children and then systematically delves into different home schooling techniques and how they can be used to meet the needs of those children, even if they go to a public or private school. Although the book reads somewhat like a thesis paper, there are many quotes from both parents and gifted children to demonstrate the concepts, which keeps the book very readable and enjoyable. Nevertheless, this book is valuable just for the bibliography alone. |

| I enjoyed the book and it has an incredible amount of resources in it. It addressed a lot of homeschooling concerns for gifted kids. I don't feel it is a stand alone resource and maybe after a few years and some revisions it will seem more "complete". |
A must for all parents considering homeschooling

| This is absolutely the best book I have read about homeschooling. It is intended for gifted children, but is so much more than that. It talks about all types of homeschooling methods, suggests materials, gives experiences from parents already homeschooling - it is just wonderful. I have given this book to friends considering homeschooling and they agree - this book is a MUST READ! |
