Written by Professor in Gifted Curriculum and Instruction (University of Toledo, Ohio) Robert A. Schultz and award-winning educator and author James R. Delisle, Smart Talk: What Kids Say About Growing Up Gifted is a straightforward "tell it like it is" book gathering testimony from gifted children ages 4 to 12, in their own words, especially for other gifted children to read. Smart Talk gives the straight word on the ups and downs of being gifted, and solid advice on how to deal with expectations, cope with boredom, find personal passions, and look ahead to the future. For example, one boy's honest answer to "What is it like when you feel smarter than some of your friends?" is "You get used to it. But I hate the fact that you can't confide in them about some of your problems or tell them what you REALLY like to do in your spare time." Above all, Smart Talk reaches out to young readers with the reassurance that being gifted may make a person feel different from others of the same age, that doesn't mean he or she is all alone. Enthusiastically recommended for gifted children and their families.
