[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much of the problems stem from parents and teachers neglecting the whole child? Like, the kid is so academically strong nothing else is seen as a problem?[/quote]

LOL do not assume that high IQ= academically strong.

But as to your point, it is always a problem when the whole child is neglected for some aspect of the child, and that does happen in the case of exceptional talents. However, high IQ is highly correlated with anxiety. Not predictive, but there is a correlation. https://psychcentral.com/anxiety/recent-research-links-anxiety-with-higher-iq[/quote]

High IQ does not equal success all the time, correct.  [b]Plus there are only 1% of the population over 140 so nothing to worry about there.[/b]  Especially if IQ was taken under 12 years old.  That’s when the test scores show higher.

And those kids on tv with supposed IQs off the chart and can do work way above their age?  When they reach a certain age they are on equal footing with their peer group and aren’t so special anymore and they tend to be depressed with defeatist attitudes.

I’ll take the hardworking dedicated student who won’t give up with an average IQ any day. [/quote]

I think this number is pretty accurate, but people need to recognize that 1% of the population is a lot of people. In a school with 1K kids, assuming an average distribution, that's 100 kids. I would guess that many commenters on this thread do need to manage the issues of high IQ children.
