Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy How did giftedness affect your family planning?

I have two, I did not know they were both HG until recently. They are both a handful (or maybe that's an understatement and they are forces of nature).

I would still have more if I could. That said my mom used to say deciding to have a second child was like standing in front of the truck that just hit you and waiting for it to hit you again.

Someone once told me to picture how many people you want to have sitting around your dinner table at Thanksgiving. If it's just you, your DH and your child, that's totally fine. If you imagine more, then don't let the fact that your child is a friendly tornado dissuade you.
