I don't even know if my children will qualify for DYS (or if I'll even apply!... i'm not a big fan of rejection... ;-))... and I'm here. I've found solace, laughter, and lots of ideas (hiding for a while - until my recent soul-bearing...).

I think it's hugely helpful for anyone with a gifted child regardless of level! I think it's flattering to be told you should check it out, and I think your friend will be glad she's come - regardless of whether she thinks she should apply to DYS (if she's less chicken than me!), or whether it's just a resource and community for her!

[To be honest, i guess i didn't realize you had to be in DYS to use the board... like i said, i've found it hugely helpful thus far! So, i hope it's ok i'm still hanging around!...]
