[ - ] My 4 yo dd is negative much of the time. She woke up this morning angry with me bc she couldn't find something she had misplaced. She does this a lot. She gets angry at me over things that I have no part of. It's almost like dealing with adult. She has been tested and very high IQ and very verbal. Psychologist says not to engage with her but that's impossible. Stay cal, talk her through it but doesn't solve the negativity and anger that appears suddenly.. Hard to know how to handle this negativity. On the other hand, When things are going good, couldn't ask for a better child. Anyone dealt with this? 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Yep, I've got a 4-year old like that. We call him the angry elf. He turns on a dime. Goes from "I don't like you mommy" to "I like you" in a second, then back again. It's often because of things out of my control. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Last year my son got a perfect OLSAT score and a 160 on the SB. Was reading chapter books and doing second-grade equivalent arithmetic on arrival in gen-ed K. He's learning socialization, teamwork, and smattering of science & social studies. At reading time, they read in groups, and my son is in his own "group" at a reading level above the rest of the class. He has a ton of friends, loves music, drama and recess and he's happy. Sometimes during the academic part of the day he might be bored, and personally I think it's a good thing. Sometimes school is boring, sometimes work is boring, sometimes life is boring and it's good to learn how to deal with that. 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

while I agree with you and didn't prep my child, gifted also can't be measured by a standardized test given by untrained teachers. My ds bombed the test (89%) but now, in first grade, is reading and writing on a 4th grade level and doing his 5th grade sibling's math. I'm very happy where we are (a private that is accomodating to his individual needs) but there is no doubt that he is gifted even though NYC school system would say he isn't because he was too shy to work with the tester he had never met before at 4 years old.

op: I understand your position and circumstances but this is a rarity. We have come to love the word gifted when it comes to rich, white kids and it is statistically impossible for there to be so many gifted kids. It's simply a racket and I suspect most parents know this deep inside but need the ego stroke or the knowledge that their off spring won't be mixing it up with the "loser" kids. [ Reply | More

"Gifted" is how NYC keeps educated, MC families in its public schools. Otherwise they would flee to the burbs or private schools. We all know that "gifted" (in the 4 yo context) generally means a student who has had some type of school preparation, comes from a family that values education, and will behave in class. Naturally, these families want their kids in classes with similar kids. [ Reply | More

because sometimes EVEN toddlers are f'ing idiots. You can love someone and still think they're idiotic on occasion. [ Reply | More

I have a sense of humor, I think we were just brought up differently and this isn't part of my vocabulary other than in really awful situations. [ Reply | More

[ - ] My friend gave me a painting for a birthday gift and I have heard from a common friend she is hurt I have not hung it up yet (she bought the painting). I don't really like the painting and my husband hates it. Am I that rude for not hanging it up? 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

ITA unless it's something you know they want in advance, or maybe if you are an artist and paint something for them specifically. But even then, you can't be offended if they don't hang it up. [ Reply | More

i cannot believe someone would give you a painting - art is so personal imo - is it a decent artist? do you have a guest bedroom or little used hallway you could put it in? [ Reply | More

Artwork is so personal and reflective of an individual that I think it is rude to even presume that someone would want a painting as a gift unseen. [ Reply | More

Don't even go that far. You should have told your common "friend," "If Margie has something to say to me, I'm sure she'll tell me herself." And leave it at that. Margie is rude for expecting you to hang her gift and rude for discussing it behind your back and your other friend is rude for passing on the passive-aggressive message. [ Reply | More
