[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't really relate to what OP is saying in that it isn't important to me that my child be gifted in some return-on-investment sense. That being said, it makes me sad to watch DS work really hard on certain things (like reading and swimming) and not really get anywhere in comparison to some of his friends. I imagine that can't feel all that good for him. [/quote] I get that, but your son IS getting somewhere--he's practicing working hard, which is an incredibly useful skill. He's learning how to deal with things not coming easily. He's learning perserverance and resilience. These are good things. And he will find the things that do come more naturally, and he'll really be able to appreciate them. [/quote]
