Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Documentary about New Yorkers & Kindergarten

I finally finished the entire series and I must say bronxmom, I have no negative thoughts of you or your son. He reminds me of DS4 who will start kindy fall 2010. Luckily for me, I have the choice of a gifted magnet school or our public school with a wonderful gifted program (starting in 2nd grade) or homeschooling.

I am sorry the schools didn't recognize all those gifted traits in your son that is so evident to everyone with an active, precocious gifted boy. He would have enriched any school that knows how to draw all those talents out of him. I loved him doing his experiments and all the questions he presented to you. What a wonderful kid he is!!!

Hello to bronxmom! Wow, I just finished watching all six and I'm still holding back tears! I saw you as a loving and dedicated mom, who was just trying desperately to do what she thought was right at the time. I saw nothing wrong with the crying...I was even crying...I think we just want so much to have everyone believe in, love, and fully embrace our children... And when that doesn't happen, it can be such an emotional letdown. Your son with his science experiments was so fun to watch. I loved seeing his enthusiasm. He reminded me of my dd4. She is always working on her "science experiments" too lol Well, I just wanted to say hello and thank you for sharing your experience. I wish I could give you and your little guy a hug Best wishes to you and your family. You are a great mom!
