Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school 4-year-old with thoughts too big

I actually have had similar issues/problems with my 7 year old and it's been going on (on and off) since he was 4 (maybe 3 1/2 it started?) Anyway, it's a bit of comfort to read your post b/c it can be disturbing. Anyway, one thing I heard and that I try to do is focus (or get him to focus on) positives.... Like at the ned of the day dwell on what he favorites parts of the day were, what happened that was good, etc. Sort of reinforcing the good memories. Good luck, I know how you feel!
