[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say you have concerns about your child being advanced people say they are probably not that advanced, don't worry. When you try to illustrate that they are indeed pretty advanced people say you are delirious or straight up lying. [/quote]

No, dearie.  When you say your kid is advanced and give examples that don't fit that the kid is advanced or discount others' more experienced opinions on the matter, that is why people say the poster is delirious.[/quote]

Yes. Without actual IQ results, done at 8 years or later, it difficult to say whether any child is advanced or "merely" passionate and persistent. The "merely" was ironic, of course, before anyone flames me.

I think there's a humble brag factor that puts people off, too. I say this as someone with experience. While the "false modesty" crowd will probably flame me (for those of you who haven't  met them on DCUM, there are 2-3 "false modesty" freaks who think all types of modesty must be fake and should therefore be avoided), I think a humble brag about my kid would be even more annoying.[/quote]
