Whether or not you are gifted doesn't really matter, though, in terms of taking care of a gifted child. Nurturing their talents is one in the same as nurturing them as a whole. It's just a part of who they are, and you love all of it!
So true! I often say that my ds has developed and nurtured his talents despite me! We had an extremely rough time until two years ago when we got our own home. Before that we moved around every six months in rented accomodation. I was actually living in a womens refuge whilst expecting him and then had to return to full time work at four months. His early life was very unsettled and I spent way too little time with him as I was working all hours.
So thats nature and nurture both discounted. I love him dearly and do my best, but I really don't know where he gets it from.
