Seems like the gifted schools give a lot of homework, DS 5 is in a gifted K, he doesn't mind when it's interesting then it doesn't "seem" like work. I cant tell if it moves them foward in the wrork or not, but i assume it helps them accelerate. On the positive side, it's great that dd's school is a good fit.
My niece has always been "challenging" like that, it's very draining. She is in the it's never enough category - never enough attention, never enough fun, never enough dessert, whatever, she always wants more of something and it's your fault she can't have it. Yet with us, her aunt and uncle, she's delightful. With her parents, it's the desire for attention - even the negative attention.
So do you think something changed lately making her more the crankypants than usual? Or are you just more tired of it and sensitive to it since you know it turns off at school?
