Ebeth - being in denial is a very normal part of the journey
At a recent discussion group, I noticed that only 1 of the women was really accepting and at peace with giftedness - and she had her child tested 3 years ago! It does give me some hope that I will (eventually) get to a place of acceptance, peace, empowerment and advocacy. But not today...
I went running with my fitness partner this morning, as we usually do on Sundays. Afterwards I saw her young daughter sitting on her bed reading "Hazel Green" - a book suitable for 10-11 year olds (or so I would think?) And then it makes me wonder if I've put too much stock into the testing data? There's no way my 7 year old would read a book like this! Perhaps I've been lulled into a huge money making industry? Perhaps I'm making unfounded decisions about acceleration? Perhaps I'm going crazy!!!
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...
And then, there are other days when I feel quite normal
Hang in there...jojo
