[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My advice to you is to teach your kid to have a work ethic. That matters more. [/quote] I'm not the OP, and this is a tangent, but to teach a gifted kid work ethics, you need to give him meaningful school work at his level. We are getting in the way of that if we collectively bully the families to shut up about their gifted kids, and reflexively downplay any differences.[/quote] No one in suggesting that families dont talk about their gifted kids - just pick the right audience. Do talk about them to their teachers schools etc to get them the right academic level. Dont talk about it to coworkers who couldnt care less particularly if you are just looking for them to ooh and ah about how wonderful your chlld (and by associated you) are. [/quote]
