Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy how to talk about your gifted kid

So athletic excellence is an acceptable discussion topic but academic excellence is dismissed (it must be because you push him so hard). Yup. Seems prevelant throughout our society.

Funny, but I don't go into details even with other parents of gifted children. Except here where it feels supportive. (There are a couple of my close friends I'm sure I could talk about this with, but really, it's still uncomfortable.)
