The thing I wonder - is how are you supposed to tell what is "hiding" at school and what is just achieving less due to being distracted by processing more? Does that make sense? Is my gifted DD's handwriting so much better at home because she is dumbing down at preschool or because she's just more interested in getting it over and moving on to something more interesting (the sand pit)? Of course she's more interested in the sandpit at preschool because the puzzles are years too easy for her. I just don't know whether to worry or not. And I really don't know what to make of DD either. She just seems so "normal" to me... is she pretending? Is she just a really easy going kid who's not that interested in academic pursuit?
