Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy It always goes down like this

The girls have their friends over... younger dd, who is 8, makes up a game, uses really rigid rules, makes hard math questions for the game and the friends don't understand or know how to solve these questions. My older dd tells younger dd to make easier questions/rules and younger dd throws a temper tantrum b/c nobody likes her game and not following the rules. The friends happily follow older dd in her play and younger dd retreats to her room.

Nobody thinks younger dd is very fun and she can't understand why they don't like how she likes to play.
