Advice to parents: Don't tell your kids their IQ. There are good reasons not to whether it is low or high, plus it doesnt mean that much. My parents offered to tell me my first year of high school after a big science fair win, but I didn't want to know. At the time I think I needed to believe I had the hardware needed to keep chewing what I had bitten off. A few years later, I had the luxury of still feeling like my achievements were born out of patience and passion rather than talent. I didn't finally ask until I was in grad school and knew myself well. Im grateful to have been given that choice.
