[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had shielded my DD from AAP as much as possible.  We parental referred, told her the WISC was to understand how she learned (which was true; I learned a lot about her from those results).  When the letter arrived, we told her.    She knew about AAP, and WOW, someone thinks I am smart!  I should point out that getting into AAP would be obvious once we brought her to orientation.[/quote]

Really?  You went to such lengths to "protect" your child from the potential of a disappointment if not found eligible?  If you treat your snow flake with a little more consideration as to their maturity you may find that they will learn to deal with good and bad outcomes in the future.  Protecting them only sets them up for greater disappointment in the future when they have not learned coping skills like those others in their class whose parents don't over protect their kids.  Both my kids play sports, understand about winning an losing, are in AAP and knew each step of the process not only from us, but from those in the school and their friends.  Don't delude yourself,  your DD would have found out day 1 of third grade all the smart kids were gone if she had not been admitted.  Sounds like you need to 1.  Have another baby as you are trying not to lose the one you have, or 2.  Home school in a vacuum.[/quote]
