Most gifted parents I know believe the hype of "socialization" or some how feel guilty because their child is gifted. They don't realize that just as the name implies, it is a gift (and I believe a gift from God). No one choose it, no one stole. Just like no one choose to have a learning disability.
I think there is also a lot of confusion around "gifted" and "smart". Many parents would prefer a "smart" child over a "gifted" child in my area
