My reaction is the same even if we now have her test results. I feel people expect extraordinary abilities and achievements if we use the G word so when people tell me DD must be gifted, I reply "No, she really isn't."

Looking back, I do wonder if other parents were reaching out to us because they have gifted children and I shut them down. Next time this comes up, I'll try to listen more.
