Hello Margaret! Yes, we consider ourselves very fortunate that our district offers the program for GT children in a public school setting. And yes, we are very much in need of a little education ourselves on this subject and general parenting of a "gifted" child", that is why I have joined here. BTW, I'm really on the fence about the term "gifted". I will not be using that term with him right now. I might be something he catches onto later though.
