[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My average child is going to do better in life than the gifted one. [/b] Better attitude, people like her, hard worker and her people skills are all around significantly better.  She is also a born leader.

Our kids are older but by the time kids are in middle school a lot more parents are willing to concede that their kids are average, nice, decent kids but probably not the next Albert Einstein.

What are you trying to accomplish here?  You know that all average children do not do better than gifted ones.  You know that all average children are not likeable, hard working, with strong people skills.  You know that not all gifted children are lazy with poor people skills.  Why all the comparing?  Just be happy feeling confident that you think your kid will be successful, without also putting down other (unknown) kids (who also may be successful).  This is just another way to brag and it's silly.

Signed, mom of average kid.[/quote]

If you did not notice, she said "MY" kids, not "ALL" kids.

One can assume that this mom knows her own two kids fairly well, including their strengths and weaknesses.[/quote]
