Stephanie S. Tolan set out as a concerned mother to help her highly gifted son have a school experience that matched his intellectual ability and pace of learning. In the process, she became an advocate for gifted children and, as a founding member of the Columbus Group, has played a major part in reshaping thinking about giftedness itself.<\/p>\n

Her essay\u00a0\u201cIs It a Cheetah?\u201d is justly renowned for its power and worldwide influence. Other essays deal with spirituality, the problem of pain, self-esteem and the gifted adult, imagination, and intuition.<\/p>\n

Here, collected for the first time, are her essays and talks that are now part of the fabric of the most advanced thinking about gifted people.<\/p>\n

From the introduction:\u00a0\u201cFor more than 30 years now, I\u2019ve written and spoken about the difficulties this rare population of kids and their families face in a world that doesn\u2019t recognize their differences or\u2014if it does\u2014offers little to help them accept and cope with, let alone take joy in, those differences. It can still be difficult for such a child to think or believe, \u2018It\u2019s okay to be\u00a0<\/em>me.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The author goes on to say:\u00a0\u201cIn this volume\u00a0I\u2019ve collected many of the articles and essays I\u2019ve written about the gifted and highly gifted precisely because (in spite of the enormous changes in the world: computers, internet, wi-fi, social media, the legalization of home schooling, the invention of charter schools, and the veritable explosion of information\u2014and arguments\u2014about the gifted)\u2026, children and families still face the same basic challenges.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
