So That's Why? Hmmmmm

After a few months of going to a child psychiatrist with my son who seems to have issues being bored and school therefore not wanting to go and refusing to do the work in his class the diagnosis may be that he is extremely intelligent and has issue because he gets things the first time in class and the rest of the time it is so repetitive that he is literally bored out of his mind. So the challenge has been trying to understand why if he is so inteligent he can't figure out to make life easier on everyone and do the worki since it is easy for him and move on rather than fight it and make everyone including himself miserable. It has come to the surface that even thought he is on another intellectual level that his maturity is still of an 11 year old boy and the two just don't click yet. He has fought school and refused to do his work since day 1 of kindergarten stating it's boring and repetitive and he just doesn't want to sit and do it because it does not challenge him. It's amazing how he can go to class, do little to know worksheets throughout the day but excell and pass all state and educational testing with exceeds normal. Very frustrating being a rational do what is expected of you type person to deal with this. Takes so much time stress and energy. Hope some day his maturity will catch up to his intelligence and he will enjoy school and see that it can benefit him. I am hoping that the psychologist will be able to help him a understand.
