Resource Page: Managing Intense Kids

I enjoy speaking to parents, teachers, and homeschoolers about gifted children, intense kids, and creative hands-on learning. This resource page was created to supplement my talk about managing intense children. Feel free to use the resources {with credit}. If I can ever help you with anything else, please feel free to contact me.

Books

The books below are wonderful, and ones I keep on my shelf AND in my Kindle so I can always refer to them. I’ve included books specifically about gifted kids, those with ADHD/ADD, and resources for kids with sensory issues as well. These issues are often present in intense kids, and so I thought they’d be helpful to you, too.
