Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy handling feedback your child is "too serious"

I think sometimes as parents it is very easy to be defensive and not as easy to admit that sometimes they may be on to something. I don't know your child or their situation, so they may or not be the case. I know last year a teacher was very frank with me about
some things with DD. At first I was defensive but then I forced DD to do some things way out of her comfort zone and it has been really beneficial for her. I think in most cases (there are obviously exceptions) teachers really do want the best for their students and they get a front row seat to how our children interact with their world every day.
