It's sad because I end up sounding like I think only my child needs something different when what I want to say is that NO ONE needs that kind of instruction. I just think it is MORE damaging to the GT kid. _________________________ Benny

I realize that I'm going to have to try to keep the 'me' out of it, and just work on ways to help him. Kerry's brain-body mismatch idea is so familiar - sometimes you just know that in his head he's moved on, but he hasn't physically moved an inch! Luckily for us, school has been really helpful regarding giving him work at his level, but I do wonder when their patience is going to run out - I can hardly blame them! We're going to try 'carrot and the stick' for a while, and also look into getting the ADD testing.

I'm considering the ADD testing too, but like you am worried about misdiagnosis etc. Chatting with him this morning about school work, he was talking about daydreaming. When I suggested he speed up with the work (which is never difficult for him) so that he could daydream when it was done, he complained that he would just be given more work to do, and the only opportunity to daydream at school was at Recess. If I wasn't so bothered I'd find it funny! I like the idea of a watch too, but he's pretty obsessed with time, money ... anything Mathematical, and I'm concerned that it may cause more problems as he may focus on the watch more than the work. Not sure. Thanks for the help .... we'll keep digging. Hi guys, Im a newbie. Nice to join this forum. __________________ Watch Anime Episodes
