I am right with you there on the "it scares me.." thread. I think we all have gone through Gifted Denial, but what I am finding, is that it is not a once in a lifetime experience. In the past year I think I have gone through Gifted Denial several times. Most of the reason for my denial is that DD doesn't do "party tricks" or have any issues or LD, so at times I actually question if she is gifted.
I was just experiencing this. (again) My DC doesn't do party tricks either and no LD so sometimes it is really hard to tell. (I suppose, but someone who knows what to look for, would know). Sigh.
BWBShari - I totally relate to the running/being run over. Just recently DD has given the impression that it is frustrating to have to speak her thoughts, since she can think so fast. I can just be answering her during a conversation and she is already on a different (yet totally related) topic. The thread of the conversation just seems to fly for her, and she spends time waiting for the rest of us to catch up with her.
She has not vocalized her frustration to me, it is just something that I have been observing lately, and I am just starting to look into how to handle this.
So yes, it scares me many times a day and I think it will for the rest of my life. LOL
We are experiecing DC's frustrations when speaking with us. We're too slow. Not answering fast enough, not complete enough, not exactly what she was looking for. Always worse when DC is tired or hungry.
