[quote=Anonymous]My oldest is high strung, ADHD, 150+ IQ. My second child is ten times more laid back, a hard working and focused student with perfect grades (really, it's rare to see one wrong ever), and he tested at an IQ of 135 and won't be in our local gifted program. What I do to make him feel like he is not "less": praise him for the attributes I want to see in both of them, like hard work and perseverance. I've told them that they're not the same kids and I'm grateful for it, because I'd be bored to death with two kids who are exactly the same. In all honesty, my younger (lower IQ) son will likely be the more traditionally successful of my kids. My oldest is SMART but cannot channel that intelligence appropriately. My second is smart AND socially savvy AND has the ability to focus and persevere. They're both remarkable and capable in their own ways and I make sure to tell them that. [/quote]
