Me too. My DD9 actually prefers the company of younger kids, I think because she is so sensitive and anxious. She is charmed by the sweetness of the younger set and loves to mentor them. One of her favourite hobbies is crafts, which doesn't hurt. Her main gift is math, but she has other interests and is not pining away to play games & puzzles with her intellectual peers. In fact when she is with her intellectual peers she gets competitive, bossy and tense (perfectionism... sigh) but when she is with younger kids she relaxes and reconnects with stress-free innocence smile
