I'm making up for lost time (posting maniac today). I think a meeting with our public school summed it up.

The school psychologist looked at the WSPPI and said "you know there is nothing you did - this is just who she is." Then, she turned the report page, looking at the WJ-III achievement results and said, "what were you doing with her."

I'm not a professional. Just "onion-ated" as my daughter once told me. But, I think we are all born with a certain potential. A certain style of parenting may help some hg kids shine and be recognized before others emerge (hoping all will emerge regardless of socio economic and parenting impacts).
