WOW. Thank you all for your advice. Next...what is DS, MG, and all the other abbreviations??
I am glad to have found this group. We always knew he was gifted, but also thought maybe he had OCD or something else going on. Most of the OCD has faded, but he is very emotional & sensetive. I just heard on TV that gifted kids are "special needs" kids & I am wondering if there are any good books that could direct me in how we communicate & discipline him. Maybe he (& we!) would benefit if we found the best way to handle him. He is a wonderful child, but can be dramatic at times. Maybe this could be that I am treating him like a 6 yr old, but maybe shouldn't???
