My son had this issue. There are reasons this happens. ADHD children for instance, are often focused for so little time on so many things that they don't pay attention to their needs until it is too late. Gifted kids hyper-focus and may have this issue. My son's way of dealing with it when it happened was to pretend it didn't, not because he didn't care, but because it kept his peers from looking at him funny.
