2 cents

we did have our child tested and we're glad we did. it just clarifies what we are dealing with. it addresses and lets us know if there are any weak areas, what the strengths are. the knowledge it gave us just helped us in short/long term decisions. it also finally confirmed for us what we believed, but chose not to believe -- that child IS gifted. I had very strong denial. And then realize, so is the rest of the family, and oh -- that explains some of the other relatives, too! smile
