Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school I don't know what I'm doing

My mother in law said I should back off on the learning too. Lots of people don't get all of this and that's ok. Just smile and listen politely. They really don't mean any harm.

My role has always been to follow the lead of the child. My DC is most happy when he has books and has stimulating things to do. If my child has an interest in something, I'd pick up a few books at the library, but I never push. If he decides not to read those books that's their choice. My kids drive themselves which is wonderful.

I'm not gifted either and I've felt scared at times about it too. It sounds like you are doing a great job. Keep visiting here. There is lots of support and ideas for you.
