Only, I have never been able to figure out how to support this poor child in her emotional intensity, her intellectual intensity, or her competitive drive. I feel like she suffers for it and should have been born to parents who instinctively know how to nurture exceptional talent- like many of the parents on this board.
I've felt this way before and sometimes, just when I think I've got the hang of things with DS, he changes it up a bit and I start all over. I've read so many books on so many different topics trying to figure out how to be the best parent to DS and figure out how to help him be the happy, healthy, well-adjusted kid we all want for our kids. I think we all do that.
Nobody will love your kid the way you do - able to nurture exceptional talent or not.
