We have never pushed anything on her she just takes it and goes with it. Well, recently I have noticed that if she gets a problem wrong when we sit her down to talk to her about it she will cry and whine. .
I am thinking that her emotional maturity to face frustration and hard slogging has not caught up with her cognitive abilities. The "takes it and goes with it" is telling. Somethings you cannot take - they take you!!
Seng has some articles on this.

http://www.sengifted.org/articles_c...n_Exceptionally_Gifted_Adolescents.shtmlDoes she read a lot? Can you find a book where the heroine faces setbacks and then perseveres?
Does she like learning new words? Persevere, frustration, dissappointment, endurance, faith, focus, setback, commitment, gumption, grit, courage, surcease?
Trust?
