on the immature end of the spectrum and their intellect is on the really high level.
It's a discrepancy that not only makes it hard for parents sometimes to figure out, well, which age are they?
How the heck do we decide what they need?
But certainly for outsiders who don't get it, who see a child who can understand things on such a high level, but then has a meltdown.
So there's that.
A lot of times these kids are somewhat rigid about things, especially if they're sensory processing issues.
So some of these kids have sensory issues that make it very difficult for them to tolerate certain onslaughts from the environment themselves.
and make it difficult for parents.
And again, they often require a certain level of sensitivity on our part as parents to navigate what they need.
On a positive note, though, a lot of them really thrive when they feel understood and when expectations seem logical and when they can view things from multiple perspectives.
A lot of times when they're struggling, if you can just get them to engage in a more creative way, problem solving, a lot of times that helps.
I really agree with you.
I mean, you're kind of saying basically the situation that many parents face, which is their child needs a different approach.
That just going to school, sitting still, raising their hand, following linear-based directions doesn't work, especially with kids who are more spatially oriented, who are more creative, who think outside the box.
And that would cover most gifted kids.
So a lot of schools, they just don't have the time for it.
It's not the teacher's fault.
Typically, it's just they've got a room full of 25 kids and they have to meet kids where they are and gifted kids are outliers.
So they don't get the attention they need.
I really think you're speaking to this core dilemma that parents face is that they don't want to be annoying.
