[quote=Anonymous]If your child was flagged as gifted think of that more like a diagnosis rather than a statement on him being smart. If he is truly clinically gifted that usually comes along with struggles. Among other issues, gifted kids can struggle socially as they age, can suffer anxiety and depression and can feel crushing boredom leading to lack of engagement at school and even failing classes. Since this is a radical change in his behavior, I would start with the pediatrician but also reach out to a therapist. It may be your child is simply wanting to try new things after years of the same activities — normal teen behavior— or your child could be slipping into a major depression with lack of interest in previously enjoyed activists as a sign.
