I will admit - I am gifted.
Sorry, I had to highlight that because I thought it was cute, like a confession. ; ) I totally agree with your post. I think there is a balance. In some ways I see it as a good thing that I am not gifted, and also that I do not lack the social side. I don't know yet what LOG my DS4 is (we are doing testing in spring), but based on what he is doing I would assume he HG+. I am well aware that there could be some social challenges with this, however I feel like having the parents he has will really help him fit in more socially and be more comfortable with his peers. So far so good, we will see. I know his peers won't be interested in half the stuff he is, but it least he will have some decent social skills modeled to him. DH is gifted, but has decent social skills. And I hope no one thinks I am implying that all gifted people have poor social skills, but you hopefully know what I am saying.
Gotta run, DS4 and the rest of the fam is just getting home and I need to hear all about DS's first day at his new montessori school. ; )
