[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has to learn that there are different and equally important ways of being intelligent. And you can start pointing out and praising those other ways to her. Emotional intelligence is one of them. And she has to understand that some kids are more academic while other kids have different ways of excelling. Praise her for other ways of being excellent, and especially praise her for effort, not just because she’s lucky and schoolwork comes easy to her. [/quote] why gaslight her though? I guess I don’t have any issues with talking about different kinds of important characteristics. but as conventionally defined she does in fact sound more intelligent than her classmates. it seems psychologically damaging to want to put her in her place and not encourage her to achieve. [/quote] Who's saying to lie to her? I can't follow your line of thinking, that teaching social skills and manners is "putting her in her place." [/quote]
