A Prescription for the Perfect Summer

Encourage gifted and twice-exceptional children to spend summer pursuing two genuine interests deeply. Enrichment fosters intellectual growth, motivation, self-esteem, and college readiness. Parents should assess interests, seek or create programs, consult experts, use libraries and clubs, plan interest-based activities, and stay involved.
