It doesn't actually matter. But being the Type A that I am, I like being prepared. I'm an over-preparer by nature, and if I'm in for some hard times then I like to know what I'm getting into.
I realize that having a gifted child may not be the most desirable thing--that it comes with many challenges.

I'm fully aware that this could all be in my head at this point. I'd like to think that I'm worrying over nothing, and perhaps he's just a little precocious. Everyone has given me great points to keep my head on straight right now, and for that I am thankful.
