ask questions about my genius kids on the internet, instead?

that would only make yourself feel better. don’t be so shallow.

Usually, when one of my gifted kids steps on a rake and knocks herself out, I don’t have much to add.

why would you gloat you should just be thank full that your child does not have any handicaps and stop thinking that your child is so much better than everyone elses yes i do have a gifted child before you go and try to convince yourself that i am jealous or something

buy a Hummer so I can tag all 12 honor roll bumper stickers across the huge bumper and fly 5 of the 9 spelling bee ribbons from the rack on top.
gloating doesn’t harm anyone.

LOL
I don’t even know why I am answering this question, one of my kids poops on her panties, takes it off and puts it back on her drawer… Not very genius like.

It is something you just do out of kindness, unless you just don’t care. It is so easy it’s called SELF CONTROL!

LOL @ Billy’s answer

And…

You don’t they have pooped in their pants and pee’ed on you-like any kid…
They’ve ate there boogers several times I’m sure. lol

And tried to sniff the dog/cats ****..

Honestly, I can’t believe that this question is being asked. Think about this as an adult, for example, what if a friend went on and on about how much money they had and what a fabulous lifestyle they could live and didn’t it **** that YOU can’t live that same way? There’s a happy medium to everything- feel free to talk about your child’s achievements and strengths but no one wants to hear you go on and on about how brilliant your child is. There’s nothing positive that can come from a constant reminder to your friends about how gifted and talented your child is and isn’t it a bummer that their kid isn’t that smart?

Also remember that all kids are different and have strengths and weaknesses. While your child might be intelligent in one or more areas odds are he’s not in all (i.e he might be stronger in reading/comprehension but analytical and mathematical skills might lag).

Best of luck to you!

I feel the same way about Elvis. He’s far superior to all of the other boys in the neighborhood and he’s smart as a whip. I like to gloat any chance I get. If people don’t want to listen, I just pull out his picture and MAKE them listen.

I don’t. I stick it right up their a$$. I’m not going to hide the fact that my children are not only exceptionally good-looking with great senses of humor and outstanding athletic ability they are scary-smart as well.

I’ve read some of the narrow answers you’ve received over this.I believe it is a natural thing for a proud parent to want the world to know how good their child is.But if it comes from you just for yourself satisfication then an element of evil steps in.You must allow your child to develop and not be straddled or surrounded by jealousy and hatred that gloating invites.I trust you will come to a fair conclusion that shows how proud you are without upsetting anyone around you.Good luck to you and your child.

Because I know that it would make the other parents feel bad and I generally try to treat others the way I want to be treated. I share my excitement about my children’s achievements with my spouse and sometimes my parents and/or siblings (who also have brilliant kids), but that’s about it. It’s not that hard to try not to hurt other people’s feelings.

Well what I do is… crap, hold on - GCG, Jr. has his head caught in the toilet again. I’ll be back.

My smart child had to be told three times that her tickets were $10.50 a piece or 2/$21. Still had to write it on her hand. She’s real purdy though . . . .

i just remind myself how stupid and shallow it is to gloat, not to mention immature.

I just smile and say good girl and that’s it. I don’t talk about it or brag, that’s just trashy. If someone asks me about it, I answer their question and leave it. Usually I wait until she’s in bed and then I’ll tell my husband and we gloat together. I NEVER do it in front of her because that will give her a false sense that she is better than other kids or that she is a know it all and becomes bossy. My daughter is more intellegent and advanced than most kids but she is in no way better and that’s the way I treat her. A very advanced in knowledge child. How can I gloat in front of other people? Not only is that rude, but there could be a reason why their kid isn’t as intellegent as mine that you can tell by looking at the ‘outside’. We are all unique and we all have talents that lots of other people don’t have. I treat my daughter unique and special for lots of reasons, not just because she’s intellegent.

Realize that your kid is no more special than them. And if your kid really is a genius he might not function to well in some areas as others. And to stop gloating just think about how annoying and self-centered your genius will be thanks to his mother who thinks he’s better than others based on his iq-score
