Welcome, Slackenerny!
I found myself in the same state of mind as you are in as I started to really understand my DS's giftedness. My ability to just skate through K-12 truly did me a disservice that I believe affected my career decision. (I always wanted to be a pediatrician growing up. But when I took chemistry my first year of college I got a "C". It was the first "C" of my life. So I figured science wasn't my "thing" and I switched to psychology. I wonder now how my life path might have been different had I learned how to study challenging material before I went to college.
I was always the polite girl with a smile on her face wanting to not cause any problems... With my son, I don't fear that happening with him!
He is quite adept at causing disruptions in school when he is bored. LOL. But since he is just in 1st grade, I still have many fears about how to keep him challenged.
