Commissioned by New Zealand's Ministry of Education and drawing on input from hundreds of parents, this guide by Jill Bevan-Brown helps families identify giftedness and build genuine, supportive partnerships with schools. It covers the basics of what giftedness looks like, how to talk about it with children who may be worried about their own development, and practical strategies for nurturing gifts at home, from enrichment and mentorship to simple day-to-day encouragement. Real stories from parents and teachers, shared with permission, give the guide a grounded, relatable feel. A genuinely useful resource for any family or teacher navigating a gifted child's needs within the school system.
