[QUOTE="Angela41, post: 543200, member: 14703"] Thanks "Wise Warrior" for your reply. It helps know that kids do react differently- and I am super pleased to hear that your son is not extremely oppositional and that your daughter is doing so well. I keep thinking my son's levels were higher than what was tested, but I have no way of really knowing. At 5 1/2, he is extremely smart, an advanced reader and a math whiz. His counselor and his parent's as teacher's coach both state that they think he may be gifted. However, he has a terrible time with emotional regulation- he becomes angry and just lashes out before his dad or I can talk him down. It makes it difficult to teach him how to manage his feelings, when there is no delay time between an emotion and an inappropriate reaction. He solves intellectual problems like a child nearly twice his age and emotional problems like a child 1/2 his age. We're hopeful that he will learn better coping skills over time and that things don't get much worse. [/QUOTE]
