Hey Val...I hope you don't think I was referring to you when I wrote about parents of gifted kids not allowing them to be kids. I'm so sorry if it did.
I think it's fantastic that your child is so excited about learning!
I wrote the paper on Parental Narcissism because that was my mother then...not now thankfully. I am a mother of a child whom I suspect is gifted and am in the process of finding someone to test her simply because I want to do my best to provide her with the appropriate amount of nurturing both emotionally and intellectually. My own experience does not necessarily mean I am infallable and have all the answers...I know what needs to change, it's a matter of being able to apply those changes so I don't make the same mistakes with my daughter as my mother did with me.
So sorry I go on and on LOL I really do talk too much I think...gee and I complain about that in my daughter...go figure!
