Honorary Parent degree? #75579 05/06/10 03:50 PM

I feel like I have completed all the research on gifted kids, OEs and all; and if I look at one more 2E issue I will go batty. I figure I have one more year tops before DS7 decides he knows more than me so I figure if I can get said degree in hand before then, I can pull it out and show 'proof' of my superior mom knowledge. So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged.

Seriously, I think with all the research we parents do.... we DO know a lot more than we'd learn in school when you have real life experience teaching you as well and all the hours we spend looking things up.
