[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed watching that and can very much relate. I think the gifted label took my already rigid child and made him more rigid. Middle school was a struggle because he was always told he was smart, and then classes got hard, and he had to work hard, but did not know how to study and work hard. Finally, in high school, he knows he has to work to be smart. It is not all about inherent giftedness. I sure hope my younger one, just starting AAP now, learns faster that you have to work hard to learn. [/quote] Who told your older child he is gifted? Why would you tell your kid that?[/quote]
