TD, it has been suggested before that we have a gifted children's support thread on BB, but the idea wasn't popular. I know only too well the challenges of having a gifted child, so I can see where you are coming from. My concern though is that this is a fairly specific area, and not relevant to very many BBers. I am part of another forum which is specifically for parents of G&T kids in my state, and I find that even this is a small group with not many posts. Have you googled G&T to see what else is out there in cyberland? In the meantime, it might be interesting to see how much response this gets.

This certainly is something that is deserving of support. After a really tough year at kindy this year, we are currently in the process of moving house as it's the only way to get our DS into a suitable school for next year. It's so hard that people, even many teachers and principals, know so little about giftedness and the special needs this creates. School (and kindy) can be really tough for these kids. Supporting kids through this is tough work for parents. As is coping with their intense need for stimulation. I suspect it's also very tough on siblings.

I don't want to share too much about DS on the open forums, but perhaps we can compare notes at some stage?
