Is my child gifted?

Helena Serra and Ana Serra Fernandes
Porto Editora, 2015

This book is dedicated to helping parents become familiarised with the concept of giftedness and to providing information on ways to promote a healthy development, both affective and educational. In a way, we hope it can also serve as an alert to policy makers, letting them know the particular needs of these children. Even with the support of institutions, it is up to you, as a mother or father, to support the growth of your son or daughter, guiding him or her towards happiness.
