> realize that helping your daughter navigate life and find happiness
That's precisely what I'm working on here. There are countless guides for "average parents with gifted child." There are no guides for "gifted parents with average child".

Completely tone-deaf contributions like this make me hate HN more by the day. What's stopping you from just enjoying life with your daughter, spending time with your growing family, and fostering understanding? Maybe you both like the same episodes of Star Trek, or have the same taste in 90s music. Who knows!
Imagine her reading this in 10 years, working through the most difficult portion of her academic life. Do you think it would inspire confidence in her? Do you think it would make her appreciate you as a parent? Do you think she'd find greater respect for you knowing that you tried turning her into... yourself? This whole thread is like someone watched Gattica but their only thought was "the gene editing part was pretty cool I guess". It burns me up. I have no right to tell you how to live your life, but I should hope you have the same respect for your own kin.
