AboutViolet Selby Expertise I can try to answer questions relating to parenting and advocating for gifted children. As well as the characteristics and unique challenges they face.
I am not a psychologist. Therefore, I cannot determine if your child is gifted or help with any medical problems your child may have.
Experience I have a website called http://www.giftedjourney.com that deals with gifted children and the issues they face.
Education/Credentials I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Child Studies.
Question Hello! I am hoping you can give me some ideas on teaching my 4-year-old boy, who has very mild Asperger's and is also exceptionally gifted. He loves numbers (currently doing 4th-grade math), is a fluent reader (also 4th grade) and enjoys all learning. I have a six-year-old boy with mild autism, so budget to us is very important. At this time, I am looking for science materials that would be appropriate for my 4 year old. I am specifically interested in books or workbooks on the human body. We own some nice, basic books that have taught him some basic information. I'd like to find something that goes more into depth on the various systems. Although he's capable of doing 3rd- or 4th-grade work, I'd like something that is interesting to him - large pictures, illustrations, etc.... If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
- Michelle
Answer Hello,
I am sending you a link to one of the better sites I have found dealing with childen's literature. It deals with books on many topics including: Variety of Books - Subjects - Curriculum Areas and much more. You may be able to find some ideas here as well as a review of the material. Hopes this helps.
Best of Luck! http://www.carolhurst.com/
