Just avoid power struggles with your gifted kid... Bwahahahahaha. Sure. That worked for me - and my kids just magically stopped and were well behaved.

I guess what I like about this video is that he is talking to med school students. (At least that's what I discerned, but I was multi-tasking). The more pediatricians and psychiatrists that can be exposed to these concepts the better chance we have of eventually not having a broad brush applied to gifted kids' behaviors.

I feel really fortunate that my son's psychiatrist isn't just putting a label on my son but simply identifying traits that need accommodations or remediation.

Maybe some of the parents who've been in the trenches with these challenges are the ones who need to be writing the advice books on what to do. smile
