The word seems to have been applied to children for the sole purpose of making gifted kids seem unnatural and the result of inappropriate parenting. But as we all know, our kids may be unusual, but that doesn't make them unnatural and their gifts are not the result of our (widely varied) parenting styles.


So true! I was the opposite, I was totally clueless regarding DS for years, so he was out in the paddock amongst the weeds grin, but hey he's still gifted.
