Do you have a kid with psychomotor overexcitability or ADHD? I sure do! Leo is a climber. Leo could climb out of his crib before he could walk. We had to buy a crib tent to keep him contained. Otherwise, he would get into trouble in the wee hours of the morning. I remember when he…

Sensory STUFF (Overexcitabilties, intensities, SPD, ADHD, anxiety, behavior… call it what you will) Schizz recently had a birthday and our little family celebrated with a trip to glow bowling. Have you ever been glow bowling? It is a blast: loud music, flashing and twirling lights, disco balls, everything glows in the dark… all while bowling!…

This may sound silly, but sometimes I feel like articles and books find their way to me at the absolute most perfect moment. As if they somehow knew that I needed them. Yesterday, I attended a robotics lecture and demonstration with the kids. They loved it! The three sat, mesmerized, for the entire lecture. Leo…

At the risk of appearing pathological, here goes nothing… Leo is afraid of the television [and I may be to blame]. Leo was born busy. He’s spirited. He has spunk. Actually, Leo was a mover and a shaker even before he entered the world, but that can be a story for another day. As an…

In a previous post, I described Leo’s giftedness in intellectual and academic terms. In order to more fully understand Leo, I need to also address his creativity.

I’ve been thinking about gifted boredom lately. It’s a real issue for these gifted kids of ours, isn’t it? Leo entered a half-day Kindergarten program last August.
