Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Tell me some positive things about gifted kids

My DS9 had a hard time PreSchool. I even felt uncomfortable in his preschool. Many preschools are very loud, and overly active.
We switched to a Monstessorri type of school that was much calmer and wonderful. That made a big difference.

When I have a bad day, I get out a parenting book to help me refocus and deal with it all. I like "Children are from Heaven", This is not about gifted but does offer advice for sensitive kids.

Getting Breaks from the kids will gain you lots of patience.

Try to look for the good in them, ignore the negative as much as possible. They need our love to let them know it's ok to be different. Embrace who they are. I try to frequently tell my kids they should be proud for all their efforts.

It's all still hard for me, but it keeps getting better. Hugs to you. I hope this helps.
