[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in HS now and is not like this. I don't think OP's kid can blame her personality on AAP.
Also, it lasts from 3-8 grade so if the parents saw something amiss they should have pulled her out.[/quote]

OP here.  Not blaming her personality on AAP.  My point is that it may not be right for certain kids.  Interestingly, many gifted kids are perfectionists and have anxiety.  Ironically, AAP may not be the right choice for those gifted kids.

I love that you are trying to make this my parenting fail, but my kid left before 8th because we moved.  We could not see her internal struggle until much later and she only came to pinpoint AAP as negative for her by looking back with the help of her therapist.  If it's working for your child, good for you.  I just wanted to have people consider their child's personality.[/quote]

^ fair enough. I'm sure it's not right for some kids.  But like you said, you didn't even know there was a problem until later.  So not sure what we're supposed to be looking for.  [/quote]
