Hi Lori,

When we discuss the issues of giftedness it is usually in the context of our children. There is some awareness and resources for adults but on the whole we tend to put our resources into thinking about our children rather than the generational dynamics and experiences. It is only now my son is grown and we are not so worried about money that I have begun to think about my own childhood in this context. And I've promised myself that one day I'll get around to really examining the topic. I'm planning on doing it through my writing, hence my recent foray into journalism so that I could improve my writing skills.

I think though that in generations to come, such as when the younger generation is grown that we might begin to see a more generational approach to the issues as having been raised with so much more awareness and information, they might be more proactive about dealing with giftedness from an adult perspective.
