[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Parents of "gifted" kids are not necessarily "gifted parents." [/b]
Not (just?) being pedantic here -- I think part of the problem is living vicariously (and another part, in some cases, may be lack of personal experience) and, IMO the "gifted parents" label reinforces/buys into that mindset.

And "non-gifted" really rubs me the wrong way (which is why I tend to put "gifted' in quotes).  [/quote]

Of course the parents aren't automatically gifted because their kids are....I'm just categorizing for discussion purposes.  There are just so many ways that I can inadvertently offend some by just trying to convey a thought.  It's exhausting.

I'm sorry that I didn't clarify that I meant parents of gifted kids and instead said gifted parents.  I assumed that everyone understood thats what I meant.  I'm also sorry that I don't have an appropriate way of referring to parents of children that are not "gifted" that some don't find distasteful when trying to convey a thought that requires some sort of way to differentiate between the two.[/quote]
