[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I really can never understand why there are so many people on DCUM who have nothing but nasty comments. You all do realize that there are people in the world (and in DC) who are exceptionally intelligent, right? And you also realize that their parents have to try to help them grow up well just like any other parent, in ways that are sensitive to their particular abilities and needs. So, even if I turn out to be wrong about my own child's abilities, the discussion I tried to start would be pertinent to and useful for some parents in DC. So it makes no difference whether I'm right about my own kind for purposes of this discussion. To call me arrogant, though, is really rich. Those comments are laced with condescension, whereas I was quite clearly asking for guidance on how to raise a kid who's *not* arrogant but rather comfortable in her own skin and good at getting along with others, while still being intellectually stimulated.  If you post a question or comment like mine on DCUM, you get shredded for being an arrogant jerk; if you posted such a question or comment as well as a request to please not descend to a bunch of lame and nasty comments about whether I'm an arrogant jerk, as I tried to request here, you end up getting shredded for being an arrogant jerk who dared to make such a request.

Anyway, I really appreciate the posters who gave thoughtful answers to my question. [/quote]

FWIW, I wish my parents had never told me my IQ scores. I would have been a happier, better adjusted child and adolescent had my parents focused on developing my EQ rather than pushing me due to my IQ.

My mom never told us, so all we knew was that it was high enough for GATE -- that 's what we called it way back when, and when folks say G&T now, I get thirsty. I won't tell my kids theirs.[/quote]
