So it's about in a very matter of fact way explaining that to them.

And that doesn't make them a better person.

It's just about who they are, how their mind works.

And now they have to figure out what to do with that mind, right?

How to corral it, how to get it to pay attention and not procrastinate.

But also, are there some really exciting, enriching things they can do that would be energizing for them?

So I think if we can couch both giftedness and potential as just a matter of fact and

concept.

I mean, everybody has potential, right?

But I mean, with gifted kids, I think there's more weight on them because they think, oh, it's like a huge potential.

But potential doesn't have to be becoming a millionaire or getting a PhD or whatever.

It can be more about how do you achieve a sense of equilibrium?

in what's meaningful for you so that could be finding a career down the road that speaks to you that is really fun and engaging and interesting because for most gifted kids if it's not they're going to be miserable and that we just want you to be happy and find your path rather than oh my gosh you have to be super successful

I just want to say, I think that's true for parents as well, that a lot of parents don't recognize their giftedness.

And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

A lot of folks with gifted children, assuming their children are genetically their children and not necessarily adopted, but if there's a genetic relationship, they're probably gifted as well.

And interestingly, in this survey for the book, I found that 25% of kids

parents finally realized they were gifted once they had a gifted child.

So there were that many people who were never identified, but then saw, oh my gosh, I have these same traits.

So I think we need to recognize it in ourselves as well.
