Do we push them too much?
Are we pushing them too little?
What are the short-term ramifications?
What are the long-term ramifications?
It's really puzzling.
And most parents don't know what to do because there isn't much clear advice.
And again, each child is different and each child is different at different developmental phases in their lives based on what's going on for them emotionally and socially.
and intellectually, but I think it's fine to have appropriately high expectations, which doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be all A students or excel in some exceptional way, but rather that
They know you have faith in their abilities and potential and expect them to find a path that will allow that to come to fruition in a way that's meaningful and important for them.
So it boosts their self-esteem to know you have expectations, but you just need to figure out, okay, what's the best way to approach my child?
I mean, in a sense, we all have expectations, right?
We expect our kids to do chores, to be reasonably polite to people on the outside, to censor some of their thoughts, which is sometimes hard for gifted kids.
But with gifted kids, again, we have this, you know, what you're describing, this daunting sense of responsibility.
Like, am I going in the right direction?
And certainly that goes to schooling.
Do you homeschool?
Do you pay a lot for a private school?
Do you keep them in the public school?
What do you do to help them along the way?
I think the most important thing is to be attuned as much as possible to the composite of their abilities, their interests, their developmental level, their emotional temperament, their frustration tolerance, and the social climate that they're living in.
