[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't run into this either, but it sounds like wishful thinking tied up with NEEDING their kids to prove that their parents are worthy competitors in the child-rearing rat race. An average child is just too much for some parents to accept. It diminishes them.[/quote] I have average kids. It was a surprise. But I adapted. No delusions about whether my kids are precocious or not. They are lots of fun but don't stand out in any way from their peers except perhaps by being more confident and joyful (which is also a surprise - I am introverted and somewhat insecure). I worry about them falling through the cracks at school because they are the kind of kids you can ignore - they aren't exceptional at all and they aren't needy. [/quote]
