Do problems at school cause anxiety for your child?

Depends of what kind of gift your child has - just be strong and stand for your rights and rights of your child. My son has ADD but without hyperactivity ( he is hyper but not to the clinical point). School wanted to label him "retard" and close the case because his marks were low, but I insisted (for 4.5 years!) to run tests to prove them wrong and give him some therapy not pills to help him in later life. In grade 3 he could calculate discounts and taxes and run comparisons without calculator, but had problems with simple 2+3, he could describe with details any region in the world but could not write all that on the paper, would tutor other students but when asked any question - deer in the headlights. He could read since he was almost 4 and when he read out loud, he did not make any sense out of what he was reading but if read to himself - he knew exactly what he read. He was ridiculed by teachers and tounted by kids. But I told him: "If someone told you you have green hair, would you believr them? - he said : NO! -Why?- Because my hair is not green!" this way he knew his personal value and as he got to know himself ( good, bad and ugly) he was less concerned what others think of him and could stand up for himself with such rich and smart vocabulary ( surprised the heck out of teachers and grown-ups) that many people shout up in shame. Proffessional therapy helped as well - no pills ever needed!Explain to your son why he is special and show him how he can fight his own fights - quite often it is as simple as few words to discourage others to pick on him/her. And violence is never an answer - good friends are. My son befriended 5 good kids and they are a good group even 6 years later. Good luck
