but that still leaves goals like 'getting to know one's true self through hard work' and 'learning how to engage with the challenge of learning material at the top of ones readiness level.'
I talk myself in and out of agreeing with the psychologist on a daily basis. I wish so very badly that there were better (any) resources in our area. We can't even find a group of peers for DD because there are NO gifted groups or associations... no gifted programs... nothing. I love the idea that she would get to know herself through hard work. I just wish I could wave a magic motivation wand at her. At best, she gives a moderate effort at the things she is interested in.
I love this forum and reading others' posts and responses. It challenges me to be open minded and reminds me that I am not the only one struggling, doubting and worrying. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
