What an interesting discussion! After reading all the posts I'm thinking a lot about how this topic affected me growing up as a gifted child and how it has carried over into my adult life. And it's also showing me how I've naturally adjusted my communication with my kids based on my past experiences and ways in which I could further adjust it. So thanks, everyone, for all the thoughtful responses! You've definitely given me a lot to think about for my book group.
