hmmm...interesting. I agree but don't. I think that it is important to encourage those traits in certain situations while still having rules and limits in place. You don't want to give up on parenting and setting limits...doing that often creates a child that doesn't understand any limits and has no accountability for their actions. It is difficult with children that are gifted and are able to reason so well and can act very adult like, we still have to remember that they aren't adults yet. Just because my DS5 is able to reason as a 30yo does, doesn't make him a 30yo in other aspects, kwim? Anyhow, those are just my thoughts for what it's worth.
