Great points, I appreciate hearing your thoughts.
One point: "I don't believe you can make a child gifted who isn't...regardless of what the ads say."
I agree with this in part, but we certainly do know that having good pre-natal health, childhood nutrition, being read to, and having a stimulating and verbally rich environment makes a huge difference for young kids and their IQ - so while I would agree that you prob. can't make a kid gifted, you can def. increase their IQ (although heck knows you don't need Baby Einstein to do so). (I didn't mean for this to veer into a nature vs. nurture debate, so hopefully this won't be taken that way.)
