shinyhappypeople Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Because so-called gifted kids get most of the glory already, I'd like to state publicly that I LOVE MY AVERAGE, NON-ACCELERATED KID. She's athletic, funny, creative and bright. And she works on grade level or, sometimes, slightly below. Whatever. She's awesome and is going to go places in this world. :D I'm so proud to be her mom.

So was my DH (actual he was considered profoundly gifted). So is my younger DD. I have issues with that label. I prefer "academically accelerated." I think it's a MUCH better descriptor. Gifted is too ambiguous a term. I think my older DD (the "average" kid), works harder for the same results that her accelerated younger sister achieves with ease. I am in awe of her perseverance. She's "gifted" in perseverance. :) And, I hear parents *all the time* speak, with awe in their voices, about their 3rd grader reading at an 8th grade level or doing algebra or whatever. I think that's cool, too. But, I think it's high time we sing the praises of the *average* kid who usually needs to work harder and longer for a similar outcome. BOO-YAH!

shinyhappypeople Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yep. I've never understood why it's necessary to compare children in order to feel proud of yours. I have both an academically accelerated child and a typical kid. The accelerated child gets "oohs and ahs" all the time when people find out some of her academic achievements. My "average" DD gets nothing much from the rest of the world. She doesn't stand out (to others). I just feel like offering a little public praise to her. That's all. We think both DDs are the cats meow. Please stop reading too much into my OP. I've been around this forum a long time. Give me the benefit of the doubt, ok?

Jenny in Florida Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have issues with that label. I prefer "academically accelerated." I think it's a MUCH better descriptor. Gifted is too ambiguous a term. It's different, though. "Academically accelerated" is something you do, while "gifted" is something you are. It's possible to be gifted and not accelerated, and it's equally possible to be accelerated and not gifted. The terms are not equivalent. I just hate these threads. Those of us who have kids who are really different from the norm are, apparently, not allowed to talk about them for fear of making someone else feel badly. I don't get it. If your child won a baseball game, it would be fine to brag. If your daughter placed second in a beauty contest, it would be societally acceptable to tell the world about it. But have a kid who's intellectually gifted and/or academically accelerated, and we're supposed to hide. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I too am proud of my average kids, all three of them. I am especially proud of my oldest son for his wonderful, loving, and sweet nature. I am especially proud of my youngest for his amazing energy and willingness to try anything. My dd is especially dear to me because although she works on grade level for many things reading has been an almost impossible mountain for her to climb. She's just reading Magic Tree House and it's slow going, takes her about a month to get through one because 2 pages takes her about 45 minutes to read. This girl has an amazing memory for science though and loves any animal that crosses her path. I was unbelievably proud of her today because it was the Reading Comprehension part of standardized testing today and although it was really hard because she had to read it all herself she did her best. She sobbed at the end because she only completed 1 out of the 3 readings and question sets in the time alloted but I was so proud of her because she gave it all she had. After the test I just cuddled her and told her she was amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't post much on those threads becaue I do have one of those kids. She also struggles with ADHD and poor handwriting skills, and we deal with it all the best we can. But threads like these make me wonder if it is even o.k. to be proud of her academic achievements in public, or at least on a public message board. Why is it a positive thing to be proud of your child's tenacity and perseverance, but it's called bragging if you are proud of your child's reading level or advanced math skills?
