Why "Is My Child Gifted?" is not the right question to ask

Great article for all those who are "wondering" about their kids

Thanks. I enjoyed the article.

Where to go from there is really the question. I'm sure working at that with my son - trying to figure out when to push, how to encourage, and what to provide.

Where's my user's manual for him? ;)

This a great website with numerous resources for the parent with gifted children!

Thanks for posting this. I'm digging into this very subject. I had to laugh when I saw that your 5yo is doing the same ETC as my 8yo!! But my 7yo is kicking my behind as he's just teaching himself everything! Reading, division, triple-digit mental subtraction. I just can't keep up with him. He just takes his Singapore math book and goes on his own and teaches himself along the way. I need help to ensure that I'm giving him what he needs while I'm working with my 8yo who has some challenges.

Thanks again!
