Dr. Rimm is a psychologist, director of Family Achievement Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, and is a clinical professor at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine.

Dr. Rimm is an expert on family and school approaches to guiding children toward achievement, parenting, and the lives of teenagers.

I was privileged enough to be able to listen to Dr. Rimm speak at the WTAG conference this year and was inspired by her knowledge of gifted children. Check out her website for some very practical and eye opening advice to raising resilient children.
