Gifted children are often overlooked in education, as they are perceived to be high achieving. However, not all, have a consistent high ability, or achieve in all subjects. Some gifted learners can also have a learning difficulty and many are emotionally immature and need  to be nurtured, holistically, at cognitive and emotional levels.

The Gifted Learner: How to Help book shows how. The book includes chapters on curiosity, creativity, boredom and perfectionism. There are nineteen case studies of individual learners, their parents and teachers, which provide real and authentic insights into recognising, understanding and supporting the Gifted Learner.

Author Dr. Fidelma Healy Eames, PhD, MSc, BEd has a long background in, teaching and learning and teacher education, with an enduring interest in enabling learners to take control of their own learning and develop the mindset and skills for success. Fidelma is Director and Lead Educator with www.studyandcareers.ie, an education, wellbeing and careers consultancy based in Galway, Ireland. A former politician, Fidelma maintains an active interest in education policy and public affairs and is a regular media contributor.
