...but she actually had SOME of the EMOTIONAL characteristics of gifted kids to an even greater extent than my oldest daughter (much more sensitive...a worry-wart...perfectionism...etc.). This other mom just looked at me point-blank finally and said, "You KNOW your second daughter is gifted, right? She may not be reading yet and stuff like that, but she's ABSOLUTELY gifted." I just kinda smiled and nodded...but thought she was just one of those moms of gifted kids who saw giftedness everywhere she looked and just didn't really think much about it.
LOL this is me and my friend's daughter. I KNOW this kid is gifted but her mom just doesn't see it (relying too much on report card results). She has the emotional intensities and is incredibly detail oriented and socially precocious. One of these days the light switch will get flicked and her mom will see it too
