[quote=Anonymous]OP again. I agree about it being counterproductive to label kids, and not ideal to compare siblings. But it is just true that some people are more artistic, musical, athletic, than others, and we don't generally consider that a value judgment, but we do consider it a value judgment to say that someone is less intelligent than someone else. I would never tell my kids that one of them is more athletic than the other, even if it's true; I don't even say that one of them is a more visual thinker and the other is more abstract, because I don't want them to develop an "oh that's not who I am" attitude about things they haven't been exposed to yet. But...come on, there are people out there who are not intelligent, and in a perfect world saying that would be like saying "there are people who have no ear for music."[/quote]
