Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion one word descriptions of our kids

Okay, I may be showing my scientific geekiness here, but I would use the word Electric!!

(as in wired completely differently, or beyond 120 volts!)

LOL!

Hmmm...

DS7's word would be FOCUSED. (Except when he's not, of course...)

DS4's word would be EXTREME, since he's either extremely happy or extremely miserable, with no in between--ever!

It's hard, though, because those words are pretty limited. They don't really cover the boys in total.

I'll keep thinking!

I immediately picked intense....
but, at least today, I think I'll go with *adorable*! As I imagine all our kids are, when they're not using the curtains to make a hang-glider, or something similar!!

Witty

ROFL!

I picked Focused too for DS8. I like the way he tilt his head at an angle when he is thinking hard.

H'mmm DSalmost9 today is

Persistent

which is usually his brother DS6 but he today is

Joyful

which I might add is a relief!

For DD9 I would use "intuitive" for many reasons. She seems to live her life like she has lived a thousand times before. I would also use sensitive (not always a good thing) if I could pick another word.

For DS3 I would say "organizer" because I have a row of cars on the living room floor organized by color and size. Of course I am not allowed to move them or clean them up, since he organized them so well.

For Miss 7: I use "quirky", "spirited" and "spunky" quite a lot to describe her.

For Miss 4: I use the word "cute" a lot (eek!) coz she's just so darn gorgeous but I think "spirited" suits, as does "strong-minded", "passionate", "determined" and "curious".
