I tell you one thing the stupid bitch deserves, I hate her
If your child is smart then you should tell them. Children like to be complimented and feel special. There is not much bad that could come from you explaining to the child that she is intelligent.
I told you I don't want to. She needs to figure it out herself.
I am not sure that's a good idea. She would think differently of herself and might not feel like she fits in.
