You hit the nail on the head. I wondered what we were doing wrong that our son was so difficult. And both sets of grandparents didn't understand giftedness and thought he was just a brat. And there were times I was very embarrassed out in public. Well, he is 27 and soon to be a professor. He's a kind young man. He was also strong-willed, argumentative, and a noncomformist. He wore us out from the time he was 2. His mouth chattered incessantly, demanding interaction from rising to sleeping, demanding stimulation, being mentally hyperactive, being oversensitive, acting phobic at times, worrying, all the traits we read about. Oh, did I forget temper tantrums?
