Description
Giftedness in Childhood, part of the Elements in Child Development series, provides a comprehensive examination of how giftedness manifests and develops during the early years. Robert J. Sternberg and Ophélie A. Desmet draw on decades of research to clarify misconceptions about gifted children and offer practical insights for parents, educators, and researchers.
The book addresses key topics including the definition and identification of giftedness, cultural variations in how giftedness is recognized and valued, and evidence-based strategies for fostering intellectual development. Rather than focusing solely on IQ measures, the authors present a multifaceted understanding of giftedness that encompasses creative thinking, practical problem-solving abilities, and emotional intelligence.
This accessible yet rigorous text is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand and support gifted children’s cognitive and emotional growth.
