Glad to know you are interested in the children topic. My wife an I always wondered how a child of our generation and upbringing would choose to rebel...so far we have had it pretty easy. My eldest rebelled by choosing to teach himself clarinet. Hmmm.
Yes, my kids are all in public schools...including college. I figure it is a good place to get started. Although my kids were too young to take my NLP courses and other open seminars, they have listened to loads of Paraliminals and choose them as ways to help in difficult times. They have not used the other courses, but thankfully listen to me when I offer "indirect" suggestions that can make a difference in how they achieve their goals.
The label of gifted has been a good thing for them and they have choosen to take the more challenging route most of the time, pushing above the crowd to pursue some of the extra opportunities offered at their schools. For example, in his jr. and sr. year in High School my eldest went full time to college. He finished two years of transcripts while getting his HS degree. I merely made him aware that the offer was available through his school and helped him access the necessary channels to make it happen. But he did it all for himself.
Hopefully, one day I'll write a book about it all...I figured I better wait until they are all through HS or college at least...lest I speak too soon.
