[quote=Anonymous]OP, some parts of your post don't add up to me.  You say DD has high "EQ", but part of having a high EQ is being able to deal with adversity and change, and it doesn't sound like your daughter deals well with either.

This to me sounds like a character issue more than an academic one.  I would sit down with DD and talk about how to handle things when she gets angry, what she thinks is acceptable behavior and what isn't, because that's what sounds like is the problem.

You helicoptering in and making excuses for her "being bored" or whatever will not help her suck it up and learn to be quiet in class, not to get upset, and to do her work, even if it is "boring".  Guess what?  Homework can be boring!  It doesn't mean she's a genius if she is bored, that's an excuse on her part, and don't play into it.

In short, call her out on her bad behavior (she's not 2-3 anymore, she's too old, frankly to be having tantrums).  And talk her through it.  If she's smart enough to be in AAP, two of the most important lessons she will need to learn is how to buckle down and get along with others, along with her impressive academic work.[/quote]
