[QUOTE="Martie, post: 44202, member: 284"] Ella, Welcome to our world. Glad you found us--sorry you needed to. I can relate to the stream of consiousness mouth on Seb. Ex-difficult child would at one time say anything that popped into his highly active brain. Gifted kids are extra hard to raise when they are both gifted AND difficult child. been there done that...I wish I had found this site when ex-difficult child was 7. Ross Greene's book works best for kids who are intelligent and verbal. This book was made for you...it change things a LOT in our house. I think you are on-target worrying about your gene pool. We used to have a member who said tongue-in-cheek, "our gene pool could use a little chlorine." There is nothing you can do about the genes--Seb got them or he didn't (looks like he did.) However, there is much you can do to manage what he got--and make it better for him, and you. Based on your responses and how fast you process, I bet Mensa is looking for you. Welcome... Martie [/QUOTE]
