'I noticed a pattern that many parents of intelligent/articulate kids fall into: Sean’s parents misinterpreted his ability to construct a compelling argument as rational judgment when in reality it was his way of avoiding anxiety or initial discomfort.'
What compounded this was the fact that, like many intellectually gifted kids, Sean had been told how smart he was his whole life. He possessed a level of intellectual arrogance which made it difficult for his same-age peers to relate to him.
During the brief time I knew Sean, I noticed a pattern that many parents of intelligent/articulate kids fall into: Sean’s parents misinterpreted his ability to construct a compelling argument as rational judgment when in reality it was his way of avoiding anxiety or initial discomfort.During Sean’s time at camp, he would complain about camp to his parents. They would take whatever he said as fact without asking me for clarification.
I can only surmise that Sean told his parents that the other boys were “weird” or not functioning at his level and again they took what he said as fact. I figured that was the last time I would ever hear from them.
