[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There are plenty of kids I know who are good kids who have their rough spots. There are a few kids I know who I would say are easy. There are fewer kids I know who I want to avoid because I think they are seriously problematic. [/quote] Right. Nothing to do with being gifted. Gifted doesn’t correlate with difficult. [/quote] Sure, but gifted per WISC + difficult personality in school correlates with undiagnosed issues like ADHD, anxiety, high functioning Autism, or various LDs. Most of these are more common in the gifted population as well. Even if there are no undiagnosed issues, and the kid really is bored and immature, the best solution would be to place him in a more engaging environment. Yes, he will eventually need to learn to handle boredom, but I don't think it's worth it to hammer that point home when the kid is still pretty young. [/quote]
