I found this site while doing a search on gifted message boards or something like that. I lurked for a while and loved the fact that everyone here is so supportive.
I belong to some other parenting boards, and the support just isn't there. I posted something that mentioned "gifted" or "advanced" and was scolded by most parents for being arrogant enough to use those words and how everyone thinks their child is gifted etc.
Here a new person can come and ask "is this normal?", "is my child gifted?" and all will reply with kindness and care unlike anywhere else. That's why I started posting and learning how to advocate for my child.
