Sheldon’s parents' decision to perennially give in to him turned him into an entitled, arrogant, self-absorbed monster. Adams decided to parent her exceptionally bright child very differently.
Young Sheldon is just a TV Show; it is entertainment. I don't believe the writers pretend to give out parenting advice. If a parent takes suggestions about how to bring up their child from a TV show, I personally feel they are misguided
I pull my kids to home school in 5th grade. They skip high school by doing dual enrollment and taking only college classes. School and our education systems do not educate they just condition our children. For the brightest they simply torture them.
I no longer talk to either of my parents because basically my entire childhood was torture. I don't know why I ended up so much smarter than both of them but their need to make me like average is the main issue. I am not average. I am a massive outlier and trying to make me average just set me up to fail.
I don't know why a parent would based on anything in TV when that is entertainment and not at all reality.
I have three PG kids. They are happy, healthy, and already on the way to their careers because we didn't make them be something they are not.
Our systems are falling apart. Teaching them to stay in them is not preparing them for the future. Our systems only exploit. Everyone will be making a mass Exodus from them. I am setting up a new way of living that will accommodate the most sensitive. You can't condition the brightest people. But you can waste their youth trying to. That's what I got.
I agree with focusing on being a good person over having the highest achievements. I was waiting for you to say you let him homeschool and take a high school equivalency test! 😁 Our schools are so cookie-cutter that anyone serious about learning will be disappointed & frustrated there.
The most important quality to instill in "gifted and talented" children is gratitude for their gifts as they did nothing to earn them. With a sense of gratitude they can learn to use their power to lift others rather than degrade them. Intelligence neither guided nor constrained by virtue breeds monsters.
I had a handful of students who got into Early Entrance at the University of Washington (skipping high school). They were all personable. They got along with their peers in my classroom and other kids in general. They got along with adults. They had supportive parents. It's not something I recommend to everyone, but for those who are ready to fly faster, higher, and sooner, it's a godsend.
www.GiftedandDistractible.com is a comprehensive review of parenting and being twice exceptional (gifted with a learning difference). Broken into three parts - Understanding, Strategies, and Advocacy - with 200 pages of practical strategies, it focuses on strengths, passions, and how to teach 2e people perspective (their own and others').
