Grandparents are very important in the lives of their gifted grandchildren. Grandparents, with their greater life experiences, will often realize--even before the parents--that a child is gifted, and that the child will need additional emotional and intellectual sustenance.

Gifted children may be perfectionistic, idealistic, impatient with others, and emotionally sensitive and tempermental. They often have an inner drive to learn and may ask questions until adult ears are tired. They are sometimes exhausting to be around. Grandparents can provide important emotional support for bright, talented children.

Grandparents' Guide includes:

• Early signs of giftedness
  
• Special needs of gifted children
  
• Areas of concern
  
• Unique roles of grandparents
  
• Building a bond with a grandchild
  
• Maximizing grandparenting
  
• Education plans
  
• When a grandparent is the parent
  
• Leaving a personal legacy.
