[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I were both considered gifted as children. One of our kids was tapped for the gifted program at school based on test scores - we had no idea he even took a test. We consider him average and just thought he was on grade level.

Our younger child who starts kindergarten in the fall is WAY smarter than the older child. He learns things faster, memorizes better and just seems to have a more intuitive understanding of math. Our older child is bright and learns things he is taught. Our younger child observes the world, asks questions, and finds patterns or rules that he applies in novel scenarios.

I am an only child. My husband is oldest of 3. All three are smart, but in very different ways. One is a PhD engineer, one is a writer / PR exec, and one is successful in advertising. [/quote]

Everyone is considered gifted as a child. None of those careers means one is gifted. You will still be okay. [/quote]

You consider your child average because he is. This gifted nonsense gets thrown around so much, so overstated. All my friends kids are “gifted.” He’s gifted, she’s gifted, they are gifted, I’m gifted, you’re gifted, my grandma’s gifted, my neighbor’s uncle’s 1st cousin is gifted, my dog walker is gifted.
