Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy least controversial explanation...

I know that I totally blew the first time that I was asked about our DS. It was in the beginning of the year and DS was invited to a b-day party. One of the kids announced that DS hadn't gone to K and of course the parents started asking me questions. Of course one of the moms there had her older DDs (or something like that) already in the GT program. They were surprised, and I probably could have handled it a bit better. I just stuttered and stammered through it. After a few minutes they were on to other things.

Late to pipe in, but hoping to show a little support! I agree with the above comments, it does sometimes feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, doesn't it?

I know it' feels a little nailbitingish, but it does sound like it's going pretty smoothly so far.

And if you REALLY run up against a tough comment and are at a loss for words, I think you should just quote Whitney Houston:

There you go, a little early Christmas cheer from you pal Incogneato.

LOL! Ah, the greatest love of all! :p

Yes, there have been times that I laughed when I should have yelled because that image popped into my head!

It's a good thing.

very funny, neato! I wonder if I should practice that one in the mirror. Whitney does it so well!

(How rude of me - didn't read the whole post. Jojo - i'm afraid i don't have any good advice, but i like what the others said about good fit. Please keep us updated on how things go.)

Thanks guys I'll try remembering that Whitney moment. Holidays starting really soon - only 1 week to go. Perhaps we'll even wag a few days... jojo
