Biography
Christine Fonseca has worked in the field of education for more than a decade. Relying on her expertise as a school psychologist, behavioral consultant, speaker, and parenting expert, she has been a resource for parents and children in understanding the social and emotional needs of gifted children.
The author does a fine job of providing both a work that can be used not only by educators but at the same time by parents and even by the child at older levels of development. The work is very easy to read and once engaged the reader will move easy from chapter to chapter. Well referenced and with the author's "Tip Sheets" the reader will develop a deeper understanding of the iGen or Gen Z as they read along.,Lewie Dunn,Georgia Military College, 7/14/19

The Caring Child is a toolbox of ideas on how this can be done. ,Lisa Conrad,Gifted Parenting Support, 8/15/19
