Thanks so much MoN. You've hit the nail on the head. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with your dd. It's not raising kids, but these 2e kids can seem to take things to another level. I'm sorry you had issues with your dd, but it's reassuring to hear another parent go through a similar situation.
MumOfThree - when my ds was 5, he told the teacher in the pre-k/k/1st grade class that he didn't need her to learn and then wrote his own sick note. This was at a structured gifted school. The headmaster told me that ds was exhibiting behavior normally seen in 10-12-yr-olds at the time. Needless to say, my jaw dropped and I was speechless. I laugh now though.
