Bright, Complex Kids: Supporting Their Social and Emotional Development

The chapter titles in this book are all active, because bright kids and the adults in their lives, and the relationships between them, are continually developing. Chapters 1, 2, 3, 11, and 12 are about adults' involvement. Chapters 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 focus primarily on social and emotional dimensions of bright kids' lives as they actively develop. Chapter 5 is about both kids and adults, because both have reason to be optimistic even while motivation to perform ebbs and flows.
