[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My younger DD is much, much brighter than her dad or I. And both of us are very intellectually-inclined people who did well in school (good GPAs, grad school degrees, etc.). Therefore, if you are correct, she was probably swapped in the hospital.[/quote]

I'm the OP and I'm not the one who thinks that straight IQ is subject to reversion to the mean -  so no, I think you and your DH should have expected a very bright daughter.   [/quote]

We hoped for very bright, but knew very bright people who had average or below children so we didn't [i]expect[/i] anything. We were not prepared for "Oh, crap, she's clearly already a lot smarter than us." by pre-school.[/quote]

Your preschooler is smarter than you are?  That is very odd. [/quote]

It IS odd. And a bit stressful. Clearly she isn't more educated, but it was evident by age 3 that she learned extremely fast with virtually no repetition and wasn't just parroting things back. She's in ES now and far advanced of where we were in middle school.[/quote]
