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

No, it did not. Then again, I think DD just seemed to "fit" in our family and to us, was "normal." Still, DD was (and is) intense and perhaps had she been a bit less so, we would have spaced them a tiny bit closer (they are about 3 years apart).

I have to agree with Tigerle and aeh - I am glad my DC have each other, as it seems that we face some of the same academic issues with them (and I hope that having each other will make their educational issues feel more "normal"). Right now, they have some interests in common and it is wonderful to see them learn together.
