[Ohiogift] Seven myths about parents

[Gifted and Talented in Ohio Discussion List]

Friends:

Below is a post about the "seven myths" about parents of gifted children:

    They would rather praise their child than see them work hard
    They believe intelligence is fixed
    They think the gifted label is the equivalent of the “golden ticket”
    They want nothing more than to see their child accepted into an Ivy League school
    They lack empathy for learning disabled students
    They can’t wait for the next parent-teacher conference
    They ‘push’ their children to excel
