Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion How open are you about your gifted kid(s)?

There was a similar thread recently I think entitled, "Why oh Why must I lie?" or something like that, that I found very comforting. IMO, you can 'brag' (discuss things spontaneously--that is, not solicited) here--on the ultimate brag thread or similar, without fear of repurcussions. In real life, there are often unexpected pitfalls--I have only very rarely openly discussed DD even in our family except with her grandparents (and it gets a little tricky, because there are other gifties and a bunch of very bright kids in the family, and some of the parents are pretty competitive). So actually apart from that, and some other 'giftie' parents, and trying to advocate with DD's teachers, I don't discuss it because it's just so difficult to have a positive outcome.
