Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Advice? Gifted or Talented?

I apologize.

I absolutely only want to do what is best for my son. I in no way need nor want for him to be extraordinary.

I anticipated that he would be and am actually more concerned that I may simply have an average, normal, healthy child when I had planned for the responsibility of raising a gifted one.

I in no way ever meant to imply that my son's mental capabilities would upset me, either way.

ETA: I worry that I had assumed too much of him and that I may be largely at fault for even being concerned. After all that he has gone through, I only want for him to be happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. If he needs something more, then I want to be able to provide it.
