Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Hi, brand new, and strange incident

I would only add that I think I recall reading several stories here on the forum of children displaying behavior that looks like add or adhd or something else, and suddenly the behaviors vanish when they are moved to a "better fit" school. You might also want to read Living with Intensity which explained over-excitabilites and giftedness to me.

We have really appreciated the Montessori approach for my dds. As long as the school is flexible, and you make sure there isn't too much repetition, it can be wonderful. I would say that in our experience in general Montessori teachers really really understand and appreciate the individual differences among children.
