At home she's ok,.But she often is termed as a different child,mainly because of her overactive imagination.she's in another world.reads a lot of books on science & history.problem in school is teachers say she always wants to add her ideas than listen to them,asks unrelated questions ,distracting the class and purposefullly irritates them.Again they say shes not like other kids.."no innocence".please help.What should we as parents do to change her social behaviour.Is this a passing phase?isn't it too early to rebel in school?

this problem has happened and still is happening with me in school. your daughter is not being challenged enough. she is therefore either completing the work and getting bored or getting bored of the actual work. she then lets her imagination run wild and annoys the other children. you should speak with the school and come to some agreement. if this is not possible then you should look for another place of schooling. hope this is of some help

As others have suggested, she sounds like she's the perfect candidate for a Montessori school. Run-of-the-mill public schools aren't for everyone. She DOES need parental discipline, as someone suggested, but that's obviously not the only problem. The hitting needs to stop, and she needs to be able to listen to anyone who is giving her instruction. She is, after all, only 7, even if she's bright. Even us public school teachers know a thing or two about a thing or two. :) Definitely look into Montessori schools, and in the meantime, get with a team of people at the school to discuss ways to meet your daughter's needs now. I would recommend including the school counselor, an EC specialist, and an AIG certified teacher in the meeting, along with her regular teacher. They should be able to come up with a list of goals for your daughter socially as well as address her academic needs. Best wishes!

Your daughter is BORED! You need to have her tested and possibly advanced to a grade that will keep her interest. Most teachers will complain mostly because they cannot accomodate a child like this. The only way you can help is to get her tested find out what her actual level is and go from there. The school is failing you in not telling you how to go about this. Find a child study center and take her to it and get her tested. However make sure that your insurance will help pay because it is very expensive.

Your child may do better in a different environment. It sounds like she may be a little too advanced for the work in class. The best thing you can do is talk to her doctor or maybe a counselor. I think that she may thrive in a less structured environment though, where her ideas and opinions will be considered. Try looking into Montessori education. Children here can work at their own pace, choose their own work and if they are ready to move on to something else, they may. It is not unstructured by any means, but it may be a better match for your daughter. Good luck.

She sounds like a very bright child. I don't think she's being challenged by the teachers, OR the lessons they are presenting. I think she needs more than what they are giving her.

Take her to a doctor (psychologist). She may be a genius. Good counseling may help her.
And remember that the difference between insanity and genius is success.

1st thing to be frank is the girls is totally different and you should be lucky to have her. this curios behavior of hers can do wonders to mankind. she is like gretchen grindler of the recess cartoon i watch on disney channel who loves to solve maths probs, prepare projects beyond her imagination, and related things. your girls is just like her but at the same time she must and should take part in other activities and its you who should motivate her to take part in xtra curriculum activities or else she would get deep and deep into things. dont get her video game or pc games or else she may put whole of her brain into it. but literally speaking, you are truly lucky and i wish i could be like her. she is normal only curious. dont worry, things would obviously be normal as time passes.
try and work. if it does, thank me and nothing more.

shes just lke me (i'm twelve), just try to pressure her on the importance of good grades, Give her constant lectures and raise your voice when you get a complaint. she'll learn not to misbehave herself. It may seem a bit cruel at first but in the end it really pays off.

Stop spoiling her. That's the bottom line. She needs discipline from the parent(s)
