[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 413557"] Malika, I think it might depend on how severe it is. For a lot of kids it's hard to tell how much is that normal energy of youth, and even that varies kid to kid and day to day. When mine is in her manic phase or just happy or whatever it is that goes on with her when she's on her "good" days, I deal. Heck, at this point I celebrate it. If it hadn't been for the behavior problems I wouldn't have worried much about it because I was the same way at her age - disorganized, all over the board with this that and the other, and my parents let natural consequences take their course most of the time (school-wise), because that kind of stuff is "normal" in gifted kids. And like her, I was generally one of the youngest, if not the youngest, in my class. I knew kids a year or two behind me in school that were older than me. Some kids, plenty of them, DO settle down as their brain matures and they learn to control themselves enough to manage in school, which is why there's hesitation to diagnosis it too early. [/QUOTE]
