When my first son was born and my midwife handed him to me, she gave me the best and only advice I needed for being a parent, “Know your child and trust yourself.”
That advice continued to be true throughout our child-rearing days, even when we were faced with the challenges of raising gifted children. In addition to being a huge blessing, gifted children are also a challenge!
They learn moreThey learn fasterThey learn at an earlier ageThey remember moreThey understand abstract concepts earlierThey have multiple passions and interestsThey can do multiple things at once—and do them well
As a parent, you have what it takes to teach your gifted children, because you are the love giver and not just a care giver. You are the person chosen and created for this job, just in the same way your child was chosen and created for your family.
This book covers eight different strategies for teaching gifted students, including concepts like acceleration, compacting, enriching, and specialization. Homeschooling gifted children also brings questions about when to graduate them, whether to utilize community college, and whether Ivy League schools would be appropriate. While the strategies in this book were developed for gifted children, they will work for every child and help every family get the most out of their homeschool!

Pure Value for Homeschool families inside these pages! TREMENDOUS! I LOVE the way this book is organized. Author Lee Binz is straight forward and provides highly practical and ample examples about what a homeschool parent should do differently when they are teaching a gifted child. Though the book says ‘high-school’, we found that the entire book was 100% applicable to gifted homeschool students and their families at basically any age (with the exception of the last two chapters on College). Lee not only provides specific acceleration strategies and…
Not really informative This is a very quick read probably because there is very limited information. There arenât really any strategies given in any detail. The author spent a good portion of the book discouraging dual enrollment. Iâm all for opinions, but this book was supposed to be strategies for gifted students, not horror stories of college.
Great for beginning homeschoolers This is a must have for anyone just starting out in homeschooling or still in the early years of homeschooling. I had to learn a lot of this by trial and error over the years. It took us until the middle of their middle school years before I realized how different they were in their own little world of their education and what their specialties were that were beginning to develop. A definite great addition to the homeschool library.
