Thanks Cecilia, the boy picks up trash on the playground and fixes the shelves at the store. Which is fine. I just thought people here could understand my fear from my own childhood when one adult calls another over a confrontation and so many adults involved become more concerned with your unwillingness to drop it than they are concerned with the right answer. Scary. Guess you can't avoid the pain. I think this is a unique pg discipline problem and all the answers I get is that giftedness applies only to educational needs and "best practices" parenting applies the same to all kid's. Except 2 e kids. But I don't know if it's 2e. Stubborness plus gifted equals what? Oe, over-reacting? Haha, how many parents can we tell "I'm less worried about my kid not knowing thing to do, I'm worried about him taking a good thing too far.".
