[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was exactly like this. In kindergarten she cried at movies and had to sit in the library while other kids watched. She watched PBS as a preschooler but was still alarmed if a cartoon character was upset. It was total anxiety. Gifted children are often very attuned to emotional layers and are really distraught. We did not have the TV on much and she was not used to it. She finally got over it when she realized that at school they were only showing educational movies and not Chainsaw Massacre! I had a student or two like this, also, over the years. My daughter taught herself to read before kindergarten and just preferred books, because they are not so visually stimulating. I get very bored at movies and rarely watch any and I don’t watch TV at all. Your daughter might enjoy watching twenty minutes at a time and then doing something else. [/quote]
