Hello,
Have you considered that your child might be 2e? I ask because it took me until this year, when the disruptions were out of control, to finally understand that my child was not just gifted, something else was definitely causing the behaviors.
Getting an IEP makes sure that the teachers look at your child differently. It helps you cut yourself some slack. And it also gives you lots of different resources for new disciplinary approaches. I was very scared of getting a label for my child, but it has ended up helping a lot.
My 2 cents.
