I spent my childhood just waiting for my school years to be over so I could really live. Unfortunately, it didn't get easier in adulthood. My laundry and dishes don't care about the creative theories and connections my mind cooks up. Neither does my boss, 90% of the time. That's the sad truth.

One of the hardest things is when a gifted child learns to coast through life and never picks up life skills needed for an adult. The most successful people are not the ones with a high IQ.

I wouldn't say that.
Most successful people have a high IQ, but what they also have is emotional intelligence and grit.
Sometimes for success emotional intelligence and grit will be more important, but let's face it, you can't be an astronaut of you don't have a high IQ and drive to study for example.

Does anyone have any advice, books, classes... that they have found helpful in terms of parenting? |
Standard gifted is 5 - 8% of the population depending how you measure. 3% highly gifted. 1% exceptionally gifted.
