Don't be so sure teena. I have a "gifted" child . At eight, my daughter wrote a letter to the editor about U. S. involvement in Afghanistan and had some choice words for the President. She composed and typed the letter on our home computer. She then sent it to our local paper. I found out about it when they called me to ask if the letter should be published. Gifted children have minds of their own and the ability to express what they are thinking. They really do think about things that are considered adult issues.
