[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are smart and so is DD. But DS is a real genius -- scary, almost. He's 13 and just runs rings around us. I think it's not very easy for him to be that way -- I wouldn't say super-smartness is 100% a blessing.[/quote] Similar here: DH (pretty smart) and I (above average/normal smart). DS (HS age) is simply far smarter and a faster learner than any of us. DS is in a different league completely and it has always been the case. As stated by other poster, it is not always a blessing. I would add that it is not so easy for his siblings either, who because of DS's intelligence, perceive themselves to lack brains. We work to emphasize effort and that each person has unique skills talents and contributions. They'll probably not realize recognize or come into their own until they are in high school or college.[/quote]
