Reminds me of when I was volunteering at a small after-school program and a bright, bored kid was acting out, disrupting everything. We tried extra challenges, but he needed something different. The gradual Slope of understanding eventually led us to realize he needed mentoring. We found him a local engineer who was just what he needed. I hope it helps!
