Unfortunately there may often be a desire to even things up, undermining a giftie or anyone who may seem to be ahead in any way.
At first I would enthusiastically tell about my two kids..then I thought maybe I am bragging..now I downright don't say anything ! I also tell my kids let your work show, keep working hard ! I make sure they enter a lot of competitive friendly events , where they can gauge and judge how they are progressing. Very soon , we are hitting the ceiling in all, but we keep telling our kids that how much their hard work pays off and that we will find a good school for them one day !
I know there are a lot of gifted students out there. Just want what is best of each child !
