[QUOTE="MrsMo, post: 433809, member: 12107"] Hyperactive? Yes and no. I mean, he gets silly, and he does have trouble focusing sometimes but he's not out of control hyper. I mean, he can sit down at a restaurant for 1-2 hours, he can wait in a line, sit through a whole movie, sit calmly and read books for an hour (or more!), paint, playdoh, he loves these things. But he does get into silly moods where he's a bit hyper and not listening but I wouldn't say there's any huge red flags there. Easily distracted? I would almost say it's the opposite problem. He'll be doing something and he gets so into it, it's hard to transition him away from it when it's time for supper or time to leave the house to do something. He has a hard time with transitions - supper time, bath time, time for daycare, time to go out - it's gotten a lot better but he still struggles with this. The giftedness is not an area I know a lot about. I had heard though, some time ago, that gifted children can be much like raising a special needs child. I will look for the RYSC book - I've thought for a while now that he's a spirited child but never read up on it. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
