Hi Belle!
I love the NHA stories about a mom who had to wake her son up after an hour of sleep to say nice things about him - that's how fixed an image this kid had about himself not being worthy of compliments. Of course gifted kids have it worse because they are so much more aware - in such greater detail - of what real adult product looks like than a ND (normally developing) kid.

Love and more Love,
Grinity
