He has the ability to process several things at the same time. It has to be extremely interesting to engage his whole interest at one time. His teachers have confirmed this is how he is in class. Just because he is paying attention to the kid across the room does not mean he is inattentive to the teacher.
I wonder if this ability to multi-task is often confused with ADD when the child is a gifted boy?
We got this comment also, plus some kids do learn better while wiggling. Key is to find quiet fidgets that are satisfying but not disrubtive! And to spend at least some time during the week working at readiness level.
Good Point!
