“Give it until October,” say most teachers, experts, experienced parents. Your child will settle into their… new school, classroom, routine, etc. Funny thing though with gifted kids. They are actually frequently fine in September, and October. But come November - they’ve had it. That’s when our phone starts ringing. Now’s a good time to be one of those callers, if you need advice or to make a change. If you are hurting, we are here. The other time when sometimes it gets hard, is half past January. The longer you wait, the more school damage there will be for us to undo. Usually, our first priority is to help your child feel safe, decompress, and get them back to having self agency and a desire to learn. Once kids are burned out, it’s very hard to engage them. Some shut down, some show other ways to express their anxiety and or depression. We are here to put the fun back in school. We will pick up the phone and it’s ok if you cry.
