Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school How to talk to parents about DS

If your child had a super accurate throwing arm at that age, would you downplay that ? if a parent noticed what a great climber your child was, would you downplay that ? If your child could dribble a soccer ball with crazy skills, would you downplay that ? I've about had it with people not wanting to "brag", for the fear they'll make another parent feel bad about their own child. There's nothing wrong with being "normal" !! I have no qualms about telling people what a great soccer player my son is - why shouldn't I also embrace his academic side ? It's a crazy world we live in.
