My simple test for "am I a pushy parent or am I a parent trying to get some unmet needs met" is this:
I visualize my son's classroom. I visualize a new student with parents who have just moved into the area bringing the child in to DS's classroom. The child is clearly brighter than mine. I feel:
A) thrilled and relieved
B) threatened
If I can honestly answer "A" - then I know I'm alright!
Christi - thanks for that great insight into gifted parents who have a "rage to learn" out-prepping the local school administrators and therefore comming accross as a bit strange to family and school adults. BTDT!
Love and More Love,
Trinity
