[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the signs of a gifted child is the desire and ability to talk about mature topics with adults. OP don’t be envious because your child isn’t gifted, most people are not. What’s the saying....”It’s lonely at the top” and this applies to many of these kids who desire adult conversation. They are at least highly intelligent, so chances are their peers are unable to relate to them on many levels. We are so quick to judge and label kids, heck even adults, who don’t fit the mold. We shouldn’t stifle and discourage these types of precocious creative children, at least they have personalities unlike so many people these days. Kids like this have potential. Everyone wants to believe that their own child is intelligent, but it’s extremely frustrating when your child truly is gifted and a little quirky and constantly gets rejected by peers and adults alike. No, it’s really not a lack of social skills, it’s because the gifted chid doesn’t fit into the little box that you want them to fit into.[/quote]

This is one of the most gag-inducing posts I've ever read on DCUM, and that's saying something. OP has every right to not want to listen to someone else's child talk, no matter how smart that child is. One of my daughters happens to have a very, very high IQ, but that doesn't mean I think everyone wants to talk to her all the time. I also happen to have a very high IQ, but that doesn't mean I always want to talk to a gifted child. Sometimes adults want to just converse with other adults. [/quote]
I think the joke is on you.[/quote]

You just don't get it, and that's ok. We just won't invite you to hang out with us anymore. Not our loss, trust me.[/quote]
No loss here, go back to junior high my friend. [/quote]

She literally threw out the "your not invited to my birthday party" line. Are these women real... are Russian trolls on this thread. [/quote]
