I agree with you stbmom that giftedness is from God and we have a responsibility to make good use of it. My kids know they are expected to develop their talents to their highest ability and to use their knowledge, skills and financial rewards in an ethical manner.

You are also correct to point out the difference between smart and gifted. I do know other gifted kids, however, most are probably smart. It�s easier to see that difference when they are toddlers and preschoolers though!
