Read books is only way out.
For example, your child is 14, do you know how to prepare high schools years for future college study?
I have read 5 books about this topic.
Another topic is the child's emotion need. This even harder to do.
If you have knowledge about every topic, know how to do it, your child could listen to you, and respect you.
"The drama of the gifted child, the search for the true self" is the book I currently read.
Hope it will help.
