This is such an important question because you know that if the next generation produces a child, the whole scenario plays out again.
Your gifted son should think about how a future partner and hypothetical child would work out these gifted issues.
The highly gifted parent has to be interactive with the highly gifted child. There is no one else to fill that need.
It is a waiting game until the gifted child is old enough to be with the other gifted children in their town, region, country.
Our child is still young, so we are both very hands on.
Gifted people are in every field, just at a high level. The gifted parents pursue every passion, talent, gift, they have and encourage their child to do the same.
Gifted parents advocate all the time and watch to make sure the child does not get too confused being in situations geared for the average-IQ child.
There are always a lot of questions being asked. We are always balancing our goals with our day-to-day choices.
We have verbal giftedness, too, so there is much discussion and debate.
We take in every bit of information we can from all available sources.
The gifted people are always busy and are usually moving / talking very quickly.
That's great to discuss with your child, because the choice of having a life partner or not is a major decision. Thinking about how a gifted family makes it all work is very interesting to say the least.
