Hello all,
I'm new. I've only just found out that my eight year old daughter is gifted and talented. Last year we thought it was ADHD, and I just wasn't convinced. I see that she has trouble focusing, and lots and lots of energy, needs to constantly be moving or talking...
This past week, I found information on Dabrowski and the five sensativities that are identified in gifted kids, and I was blown away by how accurately I was reading about my daughter.
So, I guess I'm posting for feed back from anyone who is familiar with this. Do you have a child who is gifted, who can't seem to focus for long, (which could be that she just got, is done, and on to something else, but she isn't completeing work at school because she'd rather be talking to someone else or doing something else.) and has a ton of energy.
What do you do?? Is there some way to support her in focusing better, or in calming her so that she can at least do the work in front of her??
The school is scheduling another interview with me to discuss options, as her grades are begining to suffer. HELP!!
