Wow Dear Ones,
Thanks so much for all the discussion. It seems like some of us fit snugly into one catagory and others had a more mixed experience, but that these 3 groups are workable short-hand for what many of us have lived through and how our early experiences color our parenting of our gifted kids.

I'd love to hear more experiences, and I'd like to invite suggestion for names for the 3 groups. I'm looking for names that are descriptive without being pejorative.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Grinity
