Lo Que los Padres Necesitan Saber sobre...Reconocer y Animar los Intereses, las Capacidades, y los Talentos de los Adolescentes. Guia Practica B0214 (What Parents Need To Know about...Recognizing Interests, Strengths, and Talents of Gifted Adolescents. Practitioners' Guide B0214).
Delcourt, Marcia A. B.
This brochure, written in Spanish, for Spanish-speaking parents of gifted adolescents discusses strategies to use to support the interests of their children and how to recognize and extend their children's talents. Parents are urged to: (1) increase their knowledge about the child's areas of interest; (2) discuss the child's present and future degree of involvement; (3) encourage the child to develop new interests by participating in a variety of activities; (4) teach the child to explore ideas early and throughout life; (5) encourage the child to experience the value and love of learning; and (6) understand what can be done to help their child. Questions are provided that parents may want to discuss with their son or daughter for developing a particular talent and strategies are included for helping children with multiple talents. (CR)
