[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another formerly gifted kid (plus ADHD) here. As a child I learned things quickly and easily. You rarely had to tell me anything a second time, I taught myself to read at 3 or 4, and I never scored below the 98-99th percentile on standardized tests. I agree that I would prefer my kids to be above average, but not gifted. I coasted through school and never learned how to work hard or overcome a challenge. Fine as a student, but detrimental in real life and in the working world. An above average kid that learns to work hard and be kind is going to be able to do anything they want. It doesn't take a 140+ IQ to be successful, it takes learned skills and enough intelligence not to struggle through the basics. [/quote] I have a genius IQ and no friends. Was a SAHM for awhile but had nothing in common with the other SAHMS. Literally only get along with them when we've all been drinking. Not sure that you really want to wish that on your kids.[/quote]
