[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is true you can only control what you tell your own child - and how you react in front of your child to acceptance/denial/appeal - and that some kids will talk. I was the PP who had 3 kids go through this - two nonchalant and unconcerned and a youngest who knew all about it and determined to match up with his brothers. I just caution you that I have known many, many AAP teachers, staff and parents who eyeroll at the kids/parents trumpeting success/brains/giftedness - if you don't think your child is mature enough to communicate with their peers, be cautious with the words you use.

I agree with this, but that's why I told my kids so I could make sure they understood not to go around doing that.  You don't want them picking up what to say from other kids whose parents tell them they got in because they are gifted and they are special.  I too had three kids go through this and it was surprising by some of the conversations I heard or heard about. [/quote]

Yes to all of this. I dread hearing what all the chatter was in second grade when the kids get off the bus this afternoon. Some years it's totally insane what kids and parents say, and some years no one says anything at all. We'll see what this afternoon brings. [/quote]
