Trust me, my attitude grew over time.
When DS was flagged, tested and 'diagnosed' as gifted I felt like OMG, I have to DO something NOW - lest this delicate thing born today shrivel up and go away. LOL In a way I was resentful of the parents of 'regular kids' who didn't have this huge responsibility thrust upon them. It took time to realize that 'hey, kiddo was talented loooong before the school system came along'. That ability just didn't have a label yet and it wasn't going to go away so I could allow myself to start to breathe normally again.
