Judy Galbraith has a master's degree in guidance and counseling of the gifted. She has worked with and taught gifted youth, their parents, and their teachers for over 30 years. Nancy Meyers' simple cartoons and line-drawings are much in demand by children's book publishers. This book is written specifically for GTs (gifted and talented) to help them in their everyday life as a GT in school, at home, and with friends. It is based on surveys of more than 1,000 gifted kids who had lots to say about growing up gifted and dealing with it. Their advice and insights will help all GTs know they are not alone and not weird - and that being smart, creative, and talented is a big plus, not a minus. This Guide includes: facts about your GT brain and how it works; a GT survey and quizzes to help you know yourself better; advice on friendships, talking with teachers and parents, and dealing with problems like bullying, stress, and loneliness; ways to boost brainpower in and out of school; over 100 quotes from gifted kids; and, lists of brainy books, blogs, websites, video games, and more!
