    Congrats to you all!

    We will be submitting for the 7/1 date I guess. I missed that it changed from the 14th to the 1st, lol. Oh well gives me time to try to get a recommendation I guess.

    Not to rain on anyone's parade, because I'm really happy for all of you who were accepted, but DD7 was not accepted as a DYS. frown

    We were really hoping she would be, but in reality I guess DH was right - "she's not quite that smart"
    Oh well, at least we've still got this forum to continue to get great support and ideas from.

    Kerry, I'm so sorry because I know you've invested a lot of time and heart in this process. Perhaps it's easier if you think not in terms of how smart she is (and I'm sure she is VERY for you to spend so much time on this!), but rather as a blessing that she may not have as many special needs as some of the children in these extremes?

    This is a great site for all gifted children and their families. Since we also have a toddler, I'm likely to be here a lot too just to learn more, even after we get our other passwords.

    Sorry to hear that, I know it's tough. My son was not accepted when we first applied when he was 8. It took me 4 years to work up the nerve to try again. Back then I applied because I thought I was at a complete loss at what to do with him, but somehow things worked out even without the extra help I thought I needed. You will find a work to work through whatever issues you are dealing with. And you can always try again at some future date if it seems appropriate.

    Sorry there was no 'Yes' but believe me, if Dottie says she was close to DYS, then she really is 'very, very gifted' - and I'm so glad that we are here to get great support and ideas.
