I saw Hal on Matt Lauer.
While he may be on topic on raising kids, he is appallingly ignorant when it comes to gifted kids.
As a former gifted child and a parent of a gifted kid, I’d like to weigh in.
Gifted kids are at great risk for psychological problems if their gifts are not recongnized and they are not accelerated. What Hal proposed is not the recommended approach for dealing with gifted kids and will very likely lead to the kids being stunted emotionally and mentally.
Interested parents should look up Dr Ruf’s book as a starting point on raising gifted kids, rather than listen to an ill-informed person who is out of their area of expertise.

I gave this book 3 stars it is helpful in some areas. I wasn’t really impressed with some of the points, not very many tips and not geared for toddlers.

I’ll admit that I’m only half way through the book and I’m writing this review. If I get through the whole book, I’ll edit this review. But I feel like there is so much time being spent talking about how we should want to be scream-free parents (I know … I get it … that’s why I picked up the book.) Now give me the meat already. What are the techniques?? Should have been hitting those way earlier on. I hope I can hang on a little longer …
