Hi everyone, I have 2 kids that have been both identified as gifted based on lots of testing by independent psychologists as well as their schools. They both attend a gifted school too which really helps because they are very engaged and challenged which means they are not bored!
One of my kids (10 year old) has anxiety and adhd. She is on medication. She is also obsessed with fairness and equality. She plays soccer and when the coach gives out the rules for a drill she gets super angry that the other kids are not following the directions perfectly. Then she perseverates to her coach and to me afterwards "that it is not fair". Well this is starting to cause a problem for her coach because it is perceived as a behavior issue to him.
I need help with this issue because her hyperfocusing on "fairness" all of the time dominates her life and her relationships, she doesn't just do it about soccer.
Any ideas or anyone else out there have experience with this type of obsession? I call it an obsession because it really is.
Hey, thanks for reading my post and I appreciate that this forum exists.
