Gifted Parenting - Parenting a Gifted Child

 
Chronicling my journey as the mother of a gifted child.
If you're looking for a book to read to your daughter before bedtime while imparting important lessons from the Bible, the "Little Girls Bible Storybook" is one that I would recommend.

The particular book we have is meant for fathers to read to their daughter/s, with easy to understand text by Carolyn Larsen and cute illustrations by Caron Turk. The book has 50 bible stories starting off with the story of Adam and Eve. After each story there are suggested activities that will foster reflection, sharing and dialogue between father and daughter. There is also a verse to remember after every story.


The "Little Girls Bible Storybook" is distributed by Baker Books and sells for $16.99. They also have one for Mothers and Daughters, more details here.

4 Days in 1 Post

April 17th 2008 00:48
It's been a pretty hectic week for me and as a result I've been neglecting this blog for a few days. So to make up for lost time...here are 4 days worth of blog entries in 1 post.

In the News:

Apparently there's a tv show in the UK called Child Genius, a show which follows 10 gifted kids and how they go about their daily lives. The show's twist is that it will attempt to follow these kids into adulthood. Hmmm. that'll make a very long tv series to follow but it would be interesting to see if they can indeed do this.

Has anyone here seen the show? I haven't but they have a website here.

I really like the Berenstain Bears book series, my daughter has read several of them and each book is filled with valuable lessons. They have a website where kids can play a variety of online games and print out activities they can do offline. Visit the Berenstain Bears website here.

Books for Preschoolers

August 22nd 2007 01:09
My husband and I both love to read and we've passed on this passion to our child. There is no denying that learning to read is important, moreover finding the appropriate books to read is equally important. If you have preschoolers at home reading to them regularly is a great way to introduce them to books. Start them off with books like the following:

ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY
BROWN BEAR, BROWN BEAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE?
CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM
GOODNIGHT MOON
IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE
MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS
THE SNOWY DAY
THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR
HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON
OFF TO SCHOOL, BABY DUCK!


Make daily reading a part of your child's daily routine and you'll be giving them a tremendous gift filled with imagination and learning.

Weekly Book List

October 18th 2006 00:45
Every Saturday, my daughter and I visit our local public library and pick out 6 books to read for the week. We've been doing this since she was 41/2 and it has been both a fun and educational activity for both of us. Some of the books we pick are easy readers, ones which she can read on her own. We also pick out books that are more difficult, these are the ones I read to her before going to bed.

I thought it would be nice to share our weekly book list and hopefully this will be of help to other parents out there in choosing books for their children.
