Believe it or not, I agree with you. I was a gifted child as well, and had a horrible experience trying to live up to expectations that were virtually impossible to meet. But that is part of the reason I am here. You are right - SOME people on here go a bit overboard with pushing their kids, in my opinion. But some, like me, are here to find the best ways to handle their own gifted children and avoid causing the same problems for them that we had as children. I don't know about everyone else, but I take everything that is said on here with a grain of salt. Some great ideas are posted on this board, but some really ridiculous things are also on here. We all have to use our brains and decide which ones make sense and which ones don't.
