I'm hoping to find info to help me as I struggle with deciding to keep my gifted Kindergartener in school for the "socialization" which so far is a bust or to homeschool him. Not only does he have trouble finding peers in his class, but he is incredibly shy even with the teachers so whenever I bring up my concerns and try to advocate for him, the teacher brings up his test scores which state he can count to 7 and identify 5 letters of the alphabet--things he could do years ago! We even had troubles in daycare and ended up keeping him home. That is, he thought all the kids hated him because they wouldn't talk to him (ie. they couldn't talk yet) and he thought they were all "babies". Now, again I'm left trying to decide if I leave him in school so he can have lots of kids around or bring him home so we can solve the mysteries of the universe and go outside to play. Or maybe the real question is how to advocate for a shy gifted child?

At times I worried, but looking back feel it was best to let them make these very personal decisions. ljconradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964363919353821659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052350205578257248.post-87229618821866555062014-08-01T17:05:44.394-04:002014-08-01T17:05:44.394-04:00Lisa, Great post about friendships, and particular...Lisa, Great post about friendships, and particularly about the misguided assumption that gifted kids are all nerds and misfits, popularized by the media. You make a great point, also, about how difficulties finding like-minded peers are more likely to develop the farther they are from the norm.
