[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] He’s not that gifted, plenty of kids, including mine, are similarly situated in reading, and they all like to veg out with low-brow entertainment. I assign some reading for my kids and let them entertain themselves how they want. [/quote] Actually he is that gifted. Are you always such a jerk? [/quote] No, but you rubbed everyone the wrong way. You should know that DCUM doesn't like the term "gifted" because it's applied so often it loses all meaning. Moreover, your example of giftedness was something that many kids do! You can mention your child's IQ in your original post next time, IF APPLICABLE to the discussion, so that people don't assume you're one of those parents. Which to all intents and purposes for this thread, you are. My son read college-level texts as a 5th grader. So what? He also read plenty of Calvin and Hobbes or other comics at that age. Stop being so uptight. [/quote]
