Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy How do I approach this issue ? Need advice.

Thanks for the detailed post, Polarbear. It helps a lot. Right now, we did speak to our pedi, who thinks it is simply an issue where my kid is ahead academically. He suggested we wait till spring or even the end of K to see whether progress has been made. He has given us references, but there is a somewhat long waiting list, so we will need to see how it goes. So, in a wait and watch mode as of now. For school, I have emphasized that he must do all the worksheets his teacher gives -- he is, atleast, doing the worksheets for the past month. I am just not sure if this is the way I should parent ; but it does lead to fewer issues.
