Drawing on 30 years of research, Renzulli, director of The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented, and Reis (Educational Psychology Department, the University of Connecticut) offers parents a program of inquiry-oriented activities to provide children with early experiences in creative thinking and productivity. They contend that gifted behavior, such as high levels of task commitment and creativity, can be fostered in all children, even unmotivated ones, and show how to uncover the hidden potential of daydreamers, rebels, and one-track minds. They also discuss special considerations for gifted and talented students, those with learning disabilities, and underachievers. The book includes questionnaires to identify kids' interests and learning styles, project ideas, and a resource section listing books, web sites, and competitions for children.
