By Monique Prevost Lloyd 1. Never go to the school angry.
Anger begets more anger.
It is even easier for a parent of a gifted child to feel this way because it is highly likely that you too are gifted. When you were growing up you may not have been recognized as gifted and you may have many unresolved feelings from your school experience. Try to become aware of this and realize that you may still be carrying around old baggage. When you are calm, call the school and ask to speak to the teacher. The school system is a bureaucratic system with a hierarchy.
