A New Publication from Great Potential Press

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Carol Strip Whitney and Gretchen Hirsch bring strategies and techniques that combat de-motivators and keep our kids eager and excited at home and at school. In their book, "A Love for Learning," the authors present the "Four C's of Motivation", along with common physical, emotional, and social reasons for lack of motivation. Also included are lists of books and websites for educators and families of gifted children.
