  Case: Gifted
Parents placing stress of Elementary aged children to do well enough on an IQ test to be “gifted” Is this bad parenting im your opinion or encouragement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it depends on the situation and the way the parents are saying it. If it is excitement that the child is considered gifted, cool. If it's coming from a place of "you need to score as gifted, or else..." type of situation, I would consider it bad parenting. Placing academic success in such a place of importance can really negatively affect a child for their whole lives, feeling like if they perform as anything less than gifted, they have failed. I think it should be more of a "do your best" approach, but that is just me.
