Some Notes From Margaret Wallace, Bixby Gifted, Education Coordinator
Sylvia Rimm is one of my favorite experts on many aspects of parenting. I encourage you to explore her websites at www.sylviarimm.com and www.seejanewin.com (specifically about girls). We have some samples of her newsletter “On Raising Kids” at Bixby. Articles include such titles as: “Anti-Nag Morning Routine,” “A United Front” (consistency among parents), and “Bright Kids, Poor Grades: And What You Can Do About It.” She’s an expert in reversing underachievement among gifted youth as well as a parenting expert in general. I urge you to use Dr. Rimm’s work as a resource whether or not you consider your child “gifted” because she’s a real pro on parenting.
