Sugarkane Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Unfortunately I have a friend that does this ALOT and it annoys the hell out of me. Personally I don't find the friends child that advanced as my friend tries to make out she is. I also find her extremely unfriendly and for some reason has never said a word to me. Why do people do this? What can you say so you don't have to go through a whole spiel about how wonderful/advance someone's kid is? Link to post Share on other sites

carhill Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 It's not uncommon for 'gifted' children to appear unfriendly. They exist in a world beyond their life experience and the requisite emotional maturity to deal with it. Some grow into it. Some self-destruct. Wrt the friend, simply change the subject. If they object, merely state: 'I've heard a lot about this (the gifted child) lately. I'd like to share with some things I've been doing' and then do that. If they're a friend, they'll understand. If not, not. Clarity Link to post Share on other sites
