My son is currently in fifth grade. He has been in the same school system since Kindergarten. Last year they tried to tell me he had ADHD, so we went through all the tests and turned out he had an overall IQ of 129 and a verbal IQ of 135! He wasn't paying attention because he was bored, what did the school do? NOTHING! They are still telling me something is wrong with him and that he is talking too much! They refuse to give him harder work because they "tried ONCE but he complained". Yes I am sure he did, and you gave in so, he won! Good job! Not all "gifted" kids act the way you think they should! More gifted kids fail than excel, because no one takes the time to deal with them appropriately!
Now he has to "Talk only when he is supposed to" or he has to go to the office for more than an hour at a time! I am lost! I know how smart and sweet my kid is, I also know how awful some of the other kids have been to him! I also know he talks A LOT, he started at 10 months, but he is an only child and so am I....we talk all the time! Am I overreacting?
