This is very interesting. My second child is a daughter (first born ds10 is the only id gifted one right now). She is extremely social at home and at school. I wonder, how can you tell if a girl is gifted if they've gotten so good at pretending they're not? I've heard on this board "test one, test them all" but if I brought it up to my dd8's school, they'd think I was nuts. Dd8 has always been "right on" in school.
The funny thing is that when we meet people for the first time, more often than not, they think dd8 is my oldest child. She is much more socially mature and well spoken than the actual oldest child!! She really gets a kick out of that!
