Dear Aga, thank you for your input. When I was writing my follow-up longitudinal study of The 5 Levels of Gifted Children Up, my editor told me my use of the word “bright” in the new book was confusing. He asked, “ Are they gifted or not? You should say gifted if they’re gifted.” I explained to him that there are so many people who don’t realize their gifted and I want them to see themselves in these stories and pages, so sometime I use words like smart and bright to give them access to themselves. You ARE probably gifted, Aga. Everything you tell me about you and your friend helps me to see that.
