[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I second the suggestion of talking to the teacher and school counselor.  Many of the school counselors run something called "lunch bunch" where they take a group of students into their office during lunch and just work on social/conversational skills.  Also - is she messy and/or disorganized at home.  Maybe making a simple check sheet for her to keep on or in her desk with daily tasks that she needs to do to keep the desk organized.  For super smart kids, simple organization doesn't always come easy but these same kids are great at following check sheets and rules.[/quote]

Hi- I just posted about my DC (160 score)- DC is not organized- drives me crazy- DC will got from an extreme book or design and then leave everything a mess- always creating (DH wants to patent one of DCs ideas).   I have to remind DC daily on kinda simple stuff (though they can recite it) - DC is really focused on many things a lot and keeps inventing ways or processes (most are not new but others are DCs version). Can you  please elaborate on this?  DCs teacher also brought this up- saying DC was in their own world- but then said it was who DC was- like accepting DC for this "negative" but also appreciating the + (teacher -like us- loves DC and in particular DC's creativity/complex thinking).  I am really truly asking- not trying to brag as I have read in PP.[/quote]

OP again - Not sure if you are referring to my pp as bragging, but if so I'm sorry you feel that way.  If not, then I think you are experiencing some of the same issues we are except that we did not have a teacher that understood her last year (in 1st).  K teacher and now 2nd grade teacher seem to "get" her and appeciate her strengths while acknowledging her issues.

For the lunch bunch meeitngs, your school counselor is the one that should host them so they'll have the information.  Or you could ask your teacher to refer your DC to them.  [/quote]
