Q: How do I best develop my kid’s giftedness?
A: The best way to do this is through actively parenting with consistent love, discipline and attention. It also helps if you introduce your kid as gifted to anyone he or she meets. Try something like, “This is my son Aiden. He’s gifted.” If people look at you strangely when you do this, try using “finger quotes” when you say the word gifted. This usually helps them “understand.”

Q: The parents in my kid’s playgroup say my kid is normal and not really gifted. What should I do?
A: Threaten one of these so-called parents in front of other parents in the group. That should keep the rest of the group members afraid of you and willing to openly agree that your kid is gifted.

Q: What’s the best way to determine if I have a gifted kid?
A: The first step is to determine that you do in fact have a kid. Once you have established that you have a kid, the next step is to verify whether or not your kid is doing, saying, thinking or feeling things. If so, congratulate yourself, my friend, and welcome to the upper echelons of life! Your kid is gifted!

Q: What if my kid does something that seems gifted, but I’m not totally sure if it is?
