Oh how true this usually is. If you think about it--straight A children who
are well behaved, and never present much problem to an adult are easier to
contend with, but not necessarily smarter. My adorable ADHD 13 year old was a
high need baby and was also dubbed "the negotiator" in preschool. The word
"no" was always considered a challenge--and it still is! He thinks of an
angle to any rule, but that makes him a non-convergent thinker. His favorite
subject is science, and he is pretty darn good at it. He can describe parts of
a cell and cell development in minute detail. He wants to develop
medications to cure terminal illnesses when he grows up, and I imagine that since he
always thinks of an angle, that may be a good trait for someone who develops
medications.

Based on my own experience, I have often told moms who found their kids
very challenging that they just might have a gifted child. I'm glad I had
that message to give them. Even if it never panned out, it at least gave
them hope and a positive attitude about the challenges.
