[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a young child that is quite advanced linguistically and cognitively, I've found myself self-censoring with my friends when I talk about our future school plans. A lot of our decisions will be based on which school would best support a "gifted" child, but I'm reluctant to mention that, so I just talk about the other decision factors, which aren't nearly as important. It feels phony, and I don't like the fact that I don't feel I can have a candid conversation without coming across as bragging. I'm also worried that other parents would resent me. I don't think I'd feel as constrained if my child were really talented in music or sports instead. So I'm grateful for an anonymous forum where it's ok to talk openly about such things. Or at least where it doesn't really matter if some people resent you.[/quote]
