[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 500393, member: 1991"] The frustration of a brilliant mind left unstimulated - oh yes, I remember that one! difficult child 3 started school having already been reading for several years and able to do simple maths problems. So while the other kids are learning how to read double digit numbers, difficult child 3 was left to stagnate. He wouldn't do "baby work" or anything he found too easy and boring, and their rule was - got to do the other stuff before you can be given extension work. So he never got extension work. And now - he struggles with work he should be able to do easily, because he never learnt how to work properly, because the level was never set right for him. He'll be 18 next week and is still very much a work in progress. Marg [/QUOTE]
