I think it is all complex about testing and levels.

I think it is hard to define "how gifted" for a parent. I think we know our kids are bright, but how gifted is tough. I knew DD was smart but when we did the test-screening for the gifted preschool, I did not expect the results we got. Maybe I wanted to down-play expectations in case...

But I also wonder if this is some aberation because of my helicopter parenting style and by 7th grade she will be MG or ND.

I do believe the DNA line up has to be there, but like a plant, there has to be some nuturing. And like Ruf (am I quoting Ruf?) said: it is not static, the child can shift levels.
