np: that may truly be part of it. my kids go to preschool and kindergarten with no testing. i don't have a number assigned to my child to compare her to others or tell me if she is smarter than others. i'm truly grateful for that. [ Reply | More

i don't know if they'd qualify for any g&t program but my kids are for the most part pretty normal. one is incredibly determined and i think she'll get a lot done in her life. another one seems to be very bright but not brilliant. my third dc is just such a loveable person that she's a joy to be with. but i don't think that counts a talent [ Reply | More

as a former sped teacher i can tell you that i am thrilled to have non-gifted children. people would quit wishing for and claiming that their children were gifted if they could see the struggles the kids face as the grow up. [ Reply | More

dh and i argued about this even before dc was born. i find that the really truly brilliant people have a lot of problems. they have attitude or adjustment problems. dh was worried i'd stifle our dcs (having already known before they were born that they were going to be incredibly gifted) [ Reply | More

it was a joke. b/c we were arguing about it before they were even born. dh does have some relatives that are oddly brilliant but it was funny that it became an issue for us when we wouldn't even know if it was an issue. [ Reply | More
