Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion You know you're parenting a gifted child when...

your child's music teacher says this about signing up your DD to a summer music camp:

"I think the experience would be great for her and I bet she'd have a lot of fun but placement is going to be a problem. She belongs with older students who are at her level wherever that might be in 2 months but she's not mature enough to be with them. Yet she'd be bored if they put her with little children who are not ready to learn to read music. Let me talk to the program director and see if we can solve this problem together."

I love her optimism.
