[quote=Anonymous]If your kid tested as gifted and is having problems in class, I suggest working with the teacher, counselor, and student to find ways to keep them engaged and getting to perform well. This will take some time, prodding, and continuous reinforcement. You can incentivize with things they enjoy (send in quiet activities they can do quietly once completing work correctly, like books of interest, madlibs, logic games, etc.). Additionally you can do things outside of school( books from library, community events, apps, tv shows, games, crafts) that help stimulate the child. It won’t relieve their boredom at school but it does help overall. Do not under-estimate the social emotional state of a gifted child, particularly helping them to learn to navigate the world while young. Many are soo focused on the academics that they don’t manage these piece which is really important and can have major impacts later on.[/quote]
