[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it the temperament of the kid or the parent?[/quote] Both. Even if these kids start out as a dutiful pawns, they're still doing the work and learning how to play a hyper-competitive game. Which they'll need to continue playing well into adulthood.[/quote] What a sad existence.[/quote] I wonder what it is they actually hope to achieve in the end, and whether they will feel the cost was worth it. In my circles, I see parents of gifted kids increasingly opting out of this particular game. Or being frank with kids about what's necessary to achieve at that level, and giving them the choice.[/quote]
