I admit I read through this thread quickly, but it is the above one that made me do a double glance. Through her whole post this was what was pulled out and focused on.
Have you ever been accused of pushing your child? If someone in the context of responding to your discussion of the needs of your gifted child "well I don't believe in pushing my child" - how would you react to that?
I think this is the main problem. I read her posts to be about her struggles and her daughter and I think others are reading it as 'soapbox' talk directed towards them. But to answer your question, if someone stated the above comment in reference to hearing what my DD does, I would probably laugh and say something along the lines of "I'm glad to hear it. I certainly am not telling you what to do with your child just as I would ask you for the same respect."
