One other note:

One thing I see a lot is parents (of both GT and ND kids) who--to avoid bragging--only say bad things about their kids. They gripe all the time. It gets old, and I don't think it's healthy for kids to hear that. It seems to be in vogue to be hyper-critical. frown

For every one bad thing a child hears, they need something like 9 good things to get their self-esteem back to baseline. Such is the power of negativity. So I want my kids to hear me saying nice things! About who they are as human beings and the good choices they make in life, the things they can control.
