Honoring the precious uniqueness of your gifted child

In a world in which individuals are judged on the basis of performance, parents can be lured into believing that their worth is measured by their child’s achievements. Parenting is not a competition.

The “I-Thou” relationship between parent and child must be robust enough to stand the test of time.
