Oh dear, time has slipped by. My apologies for the lack of posting, but I have been immersed in finishing the correcting and last bits and pieces of editing for The Beginner’s Guide to Life on the Bright Side. It has now been sent off to the designer for her to work her magic on the layout (while I find the things I inevitably missed).
It has taken much longer than I anticipated to get this book finished off, but I know it will be worth waiting for. It is much larger than Gifted and Thriving, about 3 times the size and it has grown from the questions parents ask as they start out on their journey into understanding giftedness. It is designed so that you can read it from cover to cover if you want to, or you can dip into the sections that are most relevant to you at this moment, and come back and look at other sections later.
