[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 534493, member: 11791"] It is always tricky. We strive to understand our kids - from all angles. But... we don't want them to be "different"... Right. in my opinion? The secret to a good life is to find your particular gifts and make the most of those while avoiding as much as possible those activities that run into the brick-wall of our challenges... And there's no way to do that, without some kind of labels! I'm a tech-head. K1 is a gear-head. K2 is academic. etc. Lets [I][B]celebrate[/B][/I] our differences, and make use of them, rather than hiding them and trying to be like everybody else. (but for poor J, he's in a society where being like everybody else is the most important thing in life... ) [/QUOTE]
