      Excellent book; 101 Success Secrets for Gift Children is not only full of tips that is helpful for children, but equally helpful for adults as well. My daughter really enjoyed the book and it gave her a lot of tips to help her. I'd suggest that a parent reads the book alongside the child so that they can discuss and come up with ways to implement various tips as needed in daily life. Highly recommended.

      Once again Fonseca scores with the second edition of her work, the work is aimed for use by the gifted learner themselves, but also could be used by the parents of a gifted learner or the educator of gifted learners. The work is full of advice aimed at making life easier for gifted learners, it is divided into four parts, What it means to be Gifted; Gifted at School; Gifted at Home; Gifted in the World. Each section deals with real life events and situations that the gifted learner will more than likely face in real life. Each section is filled with worksheets and tables to aid the reader, as well as sheets for the reader to fill in with their own thoughts. Fonseca concludes with a section of resources for both the parents and the gifted learner.Her reference section is brief but references some of her other works that have detailed reference sections. This work is also short but filled with those secrets to get the gifted learner on the right path to do well in school and at home.Why has it taken so long for a work like this to come about? I surely could have used it some forty years ago as I personally struggled with these same issues at school and at home and in the real world too. Even now just reading it helped me to get a better understanding of why things in my life went the way they did. the cost of only $19.95 is well worth every penny of it to help get the secrets out there to work for your learner.

      I approached reading and reviewing this book from the direction of public education. My first impression was that it would provide helpful strategies for children who have been labeled “gifted,” as well as the adults (parents, teachers) who help raise them. I was correct. 101 Success Secrets for Gifted Kids, by Christine Fonseca, is packed form cover-to-cover with ideas, tips, self-evaluative quizzes, and prompt for reflection.That being said, this book had a secondary impact on me. As an adult in my late 50s who was labeled “gifted” as a child, I found the book to be incredibly insightful in highlighting some of the struggles I had as a child, as well as strategies that I can still use in my life now. I was not expecting this, but I welcomed the surprise.For any child or adult who reads this books, I would raise one caution: always be careful of labels. They can be accurate, but they can also be limiting, stereotypical, and potentially pejorative. “Gifts” come in many forms and vary widely from person to person. Intelligence manifests itself just as variedly. Whether or not this book speaks to you, find your gifts, share them to make the world better, and above all, find and celebrate the gifts of the people in your life.

      This work is aimed at helping the social and emotional needs of gifted children themselves and helping them cope in a "normal" school environment, for about ages 9-14. More for parents and children themselves rather than educators. There are lots of interactive quizzes, prompts for journal writing and reflection, scenarios, and so on. While the given "success secrets" may not work for everyone, I think they would be helpful for many and generate thought and conversation. I'd be interested in seeing reflection from gifted children themselves that read this book, if they feel it's useful and appropriate.
    • 4/5
      The reason behind writing this book is valid. Being able to connect with children who are gifted and help them navigate the challenges they may face due to their giftedness is noteworthy. Hopefully children will determine which points from the book could improve their academics, social skills, and emotional regulation. The myriad of ways children who are gifted are different from their peers is highlighted. Are there ways children who are gifted are similar? Could that gap be bridged a bit better in the writing? Also, I would have liked the author to refer to children who are gifted as "children who are gifted" rather than "gifted children." This may allow children to see themselves as children first and being gifted as a quality. As a special education teacher, we refer to children with disabilities as a child who has (insert disability). Perhaps it would make the child feel less different? I'm not sure if that type of labeling is discussed in gifted education. The success secrets throughout are thought provoking. I liked how they are grouped in related chapters and sections of the book. It was great to see that advice for school and home is included. I think the interactive quizzes, questions, journal prompts, etc. are great to for engagement and reflection. Overall, this book gives children many opportunities for reflection. It offers advice and guidance for children to navigate their giftedness. Hopefully it will help these children achieve positive outcomes as they grow into adulthood.
