As we travel further along this road, I am coming to the realization that there is no 'normal' gifted definition. It presents differently in each child. In my child's case, it manifests in her different thought process, amazing memory and emotional sensitivity. I think my DH and, particularly, I need to let go of our preconceived ideas about gifted children and spend more time discovering all the things that do indeed make our DD the great child that she is.
Very well put! My preconceived ideas include solving calculus (such as a whole textbook worth not just one) problems at age 3 or younger (ha!).
I'm glad Dottie's number one point though (data over time,
) puts to rest all feelings of imposter syndrome,
.
Almost have mine under control thanks to you Dottie! It's a very dogged affliction though!
