[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so lame.  Accept that your kid is gifted?  What's the alternative?  Relax about it after?  Who are you people? Just let your kid be and stop stressing about it or you'll make them anxious too.[/quote]

you are right in principle, but some of us are profoundly gifted ourselves and perhaps expected our kids to be the same. this is the only thing we know.

i have a very iq, and so does my husband. before i had kids i assumed they would be at the very top of every class, never get a B and easily pursue and be successful in whatever field they wish. my older kid had a profound language delay and this was a shock to me, but also a blessing in that i quickly and early disposed of those assumptions. now she caught up and i am thrilled with that and it is in fact liberating not to have all those assumptions about her or her sister. in fact i wish i could apply the same attitude towards myself.[/quote]

I was considered profoundly gifted growing up with a 150+ IQ, and I skipped 2 grades.

I married a bright, curious, kind, loving man who went to an average state school, and every day I hope my kids are exactly like him.  [/quote]
