I have a gifted boy born premature by 2 months. He is in a G&T kindergarten because that 2 months turn out to make him on the December cut off to start.
He is very social, but has a hard time starting conversations with other kids and "fitting in." They are older of course. He refuses to do activities that involve those skills like "theater" and gym class. He has friends but no close friends at school.
He also has had a bout of meltdowns at school (not at home) and wee his pants a bunch of times during the same time frame (again not at home.)
When asked to do work he takes his good old time and is not very assertive.(again not at home.)
What do and have other parents done to help kids who are so advanced reading and doing math etc, but are so immature. I tend to think mostly nature is at work here. But I don't want to overlook any thing that will cause even more problems down the line.
anyone?
