that makes perfect sence i know just within my three kids they are all very different and they have all amazed me in many ways over the past 4yrs...
and yes i am my own worse critic its taken me a very long time to except my other two childrens giftedness i have finaly decided they probably are because i just cant ignore that when looking at them i see a 4yr old that acts like a 7yr old a 2.9yr. old who acts like a 4yr old and a 7mo. old who acts like a 1+yr old and when i just look at them all playing together and i see the strangness in their behavoirs and most of the time i dont feel happy or excited or proud that they are smart I feel extremely overwhelmed by them i am 23yrs old a young mother and this whole gifted thing scares the pants off me in a very short time iv not only learned about the kids giftedness but had to come to terms with the fact that i was gifted and never knew i just felt extremely out of place as a child and couldnt figure out why the other kids didnt care about the same things i did or didnt worry about the things i worried about or couldnt ever seem to see the simplest way of doing things i felt like people were always making things ten times harder then they needed to be....
part of me i think just wasnt perpared for my third child (my last baby) to grow up so quickly she is very much like a 1yr old and i keep thinking Where did my little baby go? ya know?
