The authors argue that, behind a gifted person, there is a person who is highly sensitive, a quality that is not often taken into account and that causes a lot of issues and headaches for educators, especially for parents. From this perspective, this book offers a new look into the topic of intellectual giftedness or being gifted, with a positive (because it’s not dealing with a problem, or at least it doesn’t have to be) and highly practical point of view that will act as a guide for parents.
