I'll put in a plug for playgroup. smile

Since DD's were so intense, it gave me an outlet to meet with other mothers and have support. I say playgroup is more for the mothers than the children. It helped me recharge so I could meet the challenge of having intense kiddos.

A mothers morning out program one day a week helped too. The main thing is to find play based activities where children are allowed to choose what interests them.

I wish I'd read A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children from the get go. It helped me better understand why my children were wired the way they were.
