Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Where do all the parents go?

I think in terms of child development milestones and, intentionally take breaks from the subject of giftedness, so that it is not dominating our home life too intensely. I notice maturing in our child about every three months and we think in terms of long-term goals. The high IQ is such an advantage in standardized testing and in more advanced subject matter, that we do not really have problems with schooling as long as the school provides challenging assignments and projects. It is when the children are young and it is hard to assimilate their advanced cognitive ability into the much larger, average group that parents of gifted kids are just waiting for more rigorous education to start.
