We mostly parent the same way, but having DD tested and learning about the nature of giftedness has had an influence, as any new knowledge should.
On the upside, DW learned to stop worrying and love the emotional intensity that comes with it, in both DD and myself. We were also better informed on the potential dangers of perfectionism, which allowed us to be more aggressive in combating that.
On the downside... I can confess falling victim to the mentality where every time DD shows an interest in something new that it could be A BIG THING for her, based on her natural abilities. It makes wonderful bait for the push-parenting trap.
Having introspected a bit more I think that Dude's post exactly matches my own experiences to a tee - especially the bit about The Next Big Thing LOL
