Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school MY DD is just "TOO MUCH"

I actually like the idea of wearing her out with mental challenge, but she has no interest in doing anything remotely "academic" like workbooks or flashcards (not that you were suggesting it, she just gets the vibe that she is being put on the spot and asked to do something and so she refuses). I sometimes simply think she should try new things like puzzles (they seem to quiet her) instead of the same old same old, but she only does what she wants to do when she wants to do it. Maybe this will change as she gets older.
