Gm, I'm hoping to combine CBT and the nurtured heart approach. Specifically what I like about them the nurtured heart teaches the parent how to show the child "it's ok to misbehave. At the same time, I don't condone it. It's normal, and it's natural, and it's ok. Let me be clear. I don't condone it."
I think that's a powerful message to address this situation. I'm glad and relieved to read here that it really is a real problem and I'm not making it up out of thin air.
From what I've read about the CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) it's mostly a remedy for adults but I've seen online where it's used to create the structural framework for disciplined children in a logical family. Somehow it teaches the students (family members) how to Self Evaluate their own choices, actions, and reactions everytime to get the results they chose. Not that you won't have problems but with self control you can control what you can control. KWIM? I think there is an issue of trust and control wether it's giftedness or perfectionism the biggest problem comes when the rest of the world doesn't follow the rules, right? I'm going to try the home-based version from a self-help book.
