[quote=Anonymous]Actually, I think parents who think their children are gifted athletes when everyone around them can clearly see they are not are, in fact, pitied by others. And that's the difference -- athletic talent is quite obvious to everyone. True intellectual giftedness is also very apparent to others. This area is filled with bright children, but very few are truly "gifted" -- but for whatever reason there seem to be more parents who believe that their snowflake fits into that elite category when in fact they should just appreciate what they have. Also, in sports, there is no appealing when you child isn't picked for the elite travel team. [/quote]
