My husband will tell you he is not gifted. He might even tell you he isn't all that smart. He will study constantly for something he really knows inside and out and will sell himself short at every corner. I know he was tested as a child and his IQ is above 140, he is actually gifted in that regard, but he doesn't see himself that way and never will.
I completely agree with the above statement Dottie made. I welcome you and tall boys and hope that you will participate. Yes, you are qualified. You are the parent of a gifted child just like the rest of us.
I also find that any child today, gifted or not is way beyond what we as nation were when we were children. I was just talking to my MIL today about what we learned in K compared to what the "average" child learns in K today. You can't compare just in the technology and discoveries that we have made in the last ten years alone. I also repeat what many of us have said, my children amaze me every day, and in that too we are all the same.
