Did anyone see the article in Parenting for High Potential Dec issue about Dr. Maureen Neibhart?
I just read it at the GI's office this morning as I waited for the doctor. I thought it was interesting how she noted, as an objective analyst, the differences in western and asian parenting. Views of how we see our kids etc.
What made me write this post was Alaskamom and my posts about Alia Sabur. What struck me was how diverse her interests were and how she excelled at all of them. She played clarinet so well that she played with the Philadelphia orchestra while doing her PhD, she got her black belt in karate or some martial arts while a young teen and did volunteer work in LA after Katrina, while doing her PhD.
It made me think, is overscheduling a good thing for a PG child?
Just posting to provoke thought. Just as someone mentioned Condalezza Rice, this was a child who did music, dance etc. etc.
Maybe PG children thrive on the overscheduling.
