Oh man, DS6 is really keeping us guessing!
So... last we knew (as late as two weeks ago), he would always get terribly upset if he didn't "win" at everything. He would have a major meltdown and get mad and want to stop the activity. And if it was a running race with some of the other boys at school, he would come home and obsessively sprint around the house or outside so that he could get faster.
Last night, he announced matter-of-factly that he was the second slowest kid in his class and that only chid X was slower than him. And it isn't lost on him that child X has a physical disability that slows him down. I asked how he felt about that and he shrugged it off and didn't seem upset.
Could this be for real? I don't know if he is getting discouraged and abandoning all hope, or if he is really just ok with accepting that he will likely never be the fastest kid? Can this flip-flop be a gifted child thing? I feel like we never know whether we're coming or going with this kid. He makes my head spin!
