LMom Member Registered: 12/14/07 Posts: 291	What a scam. Perhaps when she read all the available books about gifted kids she might have noticed that you cannot teach 2 year old to read unless he is ready. May be somebody could help her figure out that not everybody can be in the 99% _________________________ LMom

Dottie Member Registered: 06/30/06 Posts: 2197 Loc: World Wide Web (duh)	She's only about 49%ile points away from my friend who is convinced that every problem with our schools would be solved if we could just get every kid over the 50th percentile, .

squirt Member Registered: 03/31/08 Posts: 156 Loc: Texas	Okay, I'm picky, but I'd buy her story a whole lot better if her ad were grammatically correct. Sound like "hot-housing" to anyone else?

Grinity Member Registered: 12/13/05 Posts: 1895 Loc: Connecticut	Actually, I've heard the talking and listening and responding to your kiddo is what does it. I personally think it's how the genes sort and interact.

Actually, by 'genius' she means a very bright kid who is on the top of his/her class, all 'As' etc. She has no clue in my opinion what a HG+ really looks like.

Lorel Member Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 488 Loc: New England	I'm sure she has a program similar to Doman's Better Baby Institute or whatever he calls it at this point. Looks like English is a second language for this woman. At least I hope so!

Isa Member Registered: 11/28/07 Posts: 225	The whole 'gang-culture' is completely new to me. I find this really sad, but now I am curious about how different gang raise their children - are they breastfeeding or bottlefeeding, spank or not, etc?
