[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I'm not quite getting whether it's a bad teacher or whether he's overreacting to things at school. In any case, I would look at books on parenting a kid with sensory sensitivities or sensory processing disorder (many will be aimed at kids with ADHD but the same strategies apply), at Dawn Huebner's books (She has a series including "What to do when you worry too much" - and a bunch of others about handling intense feelings--they are all excellent).

OP here.  Thanks.  We are familiar with Dawn Huebner’s excellent books.

We had DS tested for sensory issues when he was 4, and while he was on the sensitive end of the spectrum, the evaluators did not believe he needed ongoing intervention. We will get another assessment done and consider OT, as it’s possible that it could help.  Again, would appreciate recommendations for OTs that have experience with sensitivity in gifted children.

As for the poster who thinks we are working just on “feelings” that DS is gifted, no. He’s in the PG range. Not surprising, as I test in that range, too.  [/quote]
