I'm going to go out on a limb here and admit I'm guilty of misunderstanding another parent's situation. Her child could read in preschool and is subject advanced twice in math and I assumed his advancement was a product of the many worksheets she made him do before K, and the strict regimen of Latin and Chinese and music, etc. I didn't judge her in a negative way, just made the assumption that she was simply getting results due to pushing the child to work harder.

Even after having an older son who was identified as gifted and then my youngest. I should have known better. I do now.
