[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 302061, member: 7916"] Hi, That sounds so much like my son--"Bug"-- who is now in first grade. He is very bright and articulate and performs well above grade level in all academic areas. He can cut and color, etc., just fine, but it takes him longer than other kids and he finds this very frustrating. These issues weren't a problem until kindergarten...in preschool he simply focused on other activities or chose coloring/cutting activities that were "free form." When he got to kindergarten and had to sit at a table with four other kids and color and cut out the same items, he started having major tantrums. The teacher handled it well, but the parent volunteers did not take kindly to Bug's outburts... Has your son been evaluated by an occupational therapist? He might have some coordination problems and/or sensory issues that could be affecting him in the classroom. My son receives Occupational Therapist (OT) services at school and privately, which has helped, though he still had an outburst today when he saw that he had to color a page for homework. Good luck!
