With a really bright child at home.....

1. Parents are caught by too many surprises e.g. intensely curious, emotionally sensitive, philosophical, urge for self-directed, not submissive to authoritarian figures, can be argumentative and difficult.
   
   
2. Parents find authoritarian parenting not applicable and hard to set expectations, limit and timeframe. Tension is not just between parent and child but also between the spouses.
   
   
3. Parents need professional advice to make sense of the behavior of their bright child and ways to seek support from educators.
