GG...thanks for your reply. Yes, upon hearing things like that from my son's teacher all I can do is get teary eyed...then tear into action. hehe. She has taught kindergarten through 5th grade and has taught gifted children so it really kind of knocked the wind out of me when she said that. Good luck with your daughter too...gosh, this is hard isn't it? I'm so glad I found this place!!....Which, by the way, I found because someone sent me a link after watching a Larry King special on gifted children one night. Unfortunately I missed the program.
