Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Have you told your child about their test results?

We kept it vague. I showed him roughly where he tested on the bell curve but I didn't mention numbers. In fact, when family members (other than dh) pressed for numbers I refused to give them. I don't even think ds understands what it means to be a Davidson Young Scholar other than it's a cool place where there are kids with similar interests.

My reason for being vague is that I didn't want him to identify with a number--a number that is most likely not fixed, and I didn't want him to get caught up in comparisons. When he's older, of course, I'll share the info.
