Lately my son Andrew has been enjoying giving me wrong answers on purpose. I know he knows the right answer.I don't understand why he's doing this. Is that a common gifted child thing to do, or just common in kids?
Like last night I asked him what his phone number was, and he kept saying he didn't know, when I knew he did. Finally he told me, but then changed the last number to something else and smiled real big and sneaky like. Or we were playing this game where I put down a card that has a picture of something, for instance, a doll, and I put down three different word cards, one of which says doll, and I ask him to point to the card that says doll. Most times he points to the right one, or if he's unsure sometimes to the wrong one; but then other times I know he knows the right answer and he chooses both wrong answers first and thinks it's funny. I just worry that he'll do that in school and the teachers will really think he doesn't know things.
