Just wondering how many of you experience the flip side of doubt? Every now and then I think ah well she has such a high IQ and give her a book I think she'll like and find half way through she has no idea what's going on....

So my life basically goes from being in total denial of giftedness to being delusional about how brilliant she is.... sigh.

I struggle to find a happy medium where I'm in the "zone of proximal development" with what I'm making available to her. Anyone have any tips? DD5 is still not quite stating what she'd like to do and is mostly happy to go with our suggestions, although she is now starting to develop her own in depth interest in 1 or 2 things.
