Thank you for this article. I was also a gifted child for whom the expectations of parents and teachers were a burden. I managed to creat a happy and successful life as an adult, but still often felt paralyzed by a fear of achieving less than perfection. Space and time and community are indeed rare and wonderful gifts.
