There is a good book out there - something like gifted children's guide to giftedness or something. Can't remember the name.
We gave that to our son and had a talk. He is different from other kids because he learns so fast. That makes school harder for him because he has to learn to be patient and well behaved while the other kids learn. He also has to strike a balance between trying hard on his own - and not making other kids feel bad for not understanding things as well as he does.
Anyway - the talk seemed to have helped. We stayed completely away from IQ and how rare his IQ is.... There is probably an appropriate age for that - but 6 didn't seem like the right age.
