I've been in here a lot since my DS was about 3, and I must admit I find it can be very negative. Comments like "your child can't be gifted because my child was doing that and so much more at his age" are completely unhelpful.
Parents search out this forum because something has happened that has made them question their child abilities - not because they want to boast or brag.
Interestingly PPUK have not only changed their name but have also changed their own terminology believing that the word "gifted" is misunderstood and outdated. Personally I think that "High Learning Potential" far better fits my own son and lots of other children whose parents come here looking for advice.
Please lets just help each other and not turn it into a boasting match. People come here because they need help & advice.
