[quote=Anonymous]Have not read all 7 pages, so apologies if this repeats what someone else has said, but: Do not ignore or undertreat the anxiety. In HS, even the highest-IQ kids run into courses and teachers that knock them off balance--perhaps due to workload or a subject that just doesn't come as easily as others--and that is when the kids with clinical levels of anxiety can go off the rails. They have developed no tolerance for being less-than-perfect or good skills for coping with distress. For a gifted kid with anxiety, those coping skills may be even more important than academic achievement. Don't assume all is okay just because the grades continue to be stellar, and make sure your kid knows that it's okay to screw up and that you love her regardless of her talent and achievement.
