[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To pp, you have my sympathy. However, she is going to know she is smarter than other people, whatever you called her. I don't think names are what made her life difficult. Actualy, it is often thought not having enough challenge early on could exacerbated perfectionism. One of the most beneficial thing for gifted kids is to provide enouh academic challenge early and often.[/quote] Maybe. But she had all that. She was bussed to highly gifted centers, she was in college at 14. She was challenged. I guess I just feel a lot of guilt for allowing people to focus on her intelligence over everything else. She is also talented actor and finally found her outlet in musical theater, thankfully. I don't like the gifted label because I truly believe all kids are gifted. Just mama guilt. She is actually a pretty great teacher :) [/quote]
