[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My "gifted" child (I hate that term, but that's what the school system coined it) was reading by age 3, devouring chapter books by age 5, has an incredible memory, and a huge vocabulary (from reading incessantly, I believe). Also has a ton of anxiety. Not that all gifted kids are anxious, but there's a correlation.[/quote] anxious as in how specifically? doesn't interact with same-age kids easily?[/quote] No, that's not where her anxiety lies--currently she's fine socially. She is scared of a lot of things her friends aren't (amusement park rides, for example), she gets very upset when things aren't what she expected it to be, she overthinks things at bedtime. A lot of little things that add up to generalized anxiety.[/quote]
