Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school Boredom = class clown --- solution???

I agree that half day could be better. Usually no naps, and you get the socialization in without as much opportunity to get bored. (I also think half day for Kindergarten might be better for a lot of gifted kids.)

It sounds like this school is rigid. Most pre-schools are not very rigid and are very willing to work with children with different personalities, etc. I wonder if the teacher can get input from an experienced school director? I think you could hold a meeting and see if they are willing to work with your child for the issues at naptime, and be understanding about his behavior at circle time. If not, maybe this isn’t the right school for your child.
