[quote=Anonymous]This is the mom of the child who "asks too many questions"--I wanted to put some things in perspective. I don't by any means want to give the impression that I should or you should "reign" in your child's enthusiasm but.. and this is a big but..the world is a big place and it is not just about your child/my child's needs. I think it is good and healthy for kids to understand that yes ask questions but social norms and learning how to exist in the world is just as important. I think I would do my child a diservice to say "johnny you are so bright that you go on and on until you know"--that's not good. There is a time and place for everything. I am trying to stress that curiousity is good but make sure you don't fire off too many questions at once and be considerate of the teacher's time. Somtimes I do think "gifted" kids are told they are so special that they can't possibly follow all the appropriate rules and they can develop a certain smugness and other annoying qualities. I am thinking ahead twenty years and want to steer the ship in the correct direction so to speak.[/quote]
