[quote=Anonymous]My kids are teens now but had similar challenges when younger. In both cases, specialized private schools with very small classes and a highly differentiated curriculum helped a lot at that age. You might want to check into some (e.g., Auburn) to see if you'd qualify for financial aid. If not, I'd look for whatever setting can offer your child the smallest class, the most differentiation, and teachers who can use a flexible teaching style vs. being strict disciplinarians. The other thing that helped the most is free: maturity. Your daughter is only 6 and she is having trouble with self-regulation. Kids with ADHD as well as gifted kids often take longer to develop this ability, but they do grow and get better at it as long as they feel loved, understood, and supported in the interim. [/quote]
