Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion What happens to children who are gifted with poor EF

I am an entrepreneur because I could not stand water cooler talk and drama.

I read her post and ElizabethN and I are kindred spirits. My DH is Mr. Organized. I always felt like it was a fatal flaw for me to be the opposite of that, then I realized I'm totally wired for "absent minded professor" (in fact my dad was one) and so it's all about strategies for compensating for that - when necessary.

I have decided that I will start teaching my kids (or continue to) all the compensation strategies I have learned (action lists, flylady, etc.) We all use tools, the important thing is to figure out which ones you need.

PS and everyone in my genetic family is self employed….
