[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 41542, member: 1991"] Well done! I believe, also, that a lot of GFGness in bright kids comes from their frustration at being denied access to an education at their level. Whether it's the system or their problems, it doesn't matter - the frustration really causes some behaviour problems. difficult child 3 'failed' his first IQ test. They never told us the score, just said he was "borderline" and that he would never be able to go to a normal school. His last IQ test showed a score in the mid 140s, with the statement that this was likely to be an underestimate. He gets very frustrated with work that is too easy, but he also gets anxious if the work is too "waffly". He learnt very early, though, to use a dictionary. He's especially fascinated with etymology (where words come from). Our dictionary tells us this, for many words. I'm a firm believer in giving them what they are looking for, in education. Never talk down to them, always treat them as an adult equal when teaching anything. Marg [/QUOTE]
