sleepless kids
shirley and mel,
(i'm visiting here today from the rsd board....i'll have a separate post on that).
simply COULDN'T ignore this about smart sleepless kids......the old nurse was right!....we were at a seminar for the parents of gifted children years ago and the first question the speaker asked was "referring only to the gifted child who is your reason for being here today, how many were good sleepers?"......in a room with about 40 parents in it, ONE mom raised her hand.....and then she quickly lowered it, when she realized that the rest of us were glaring at her......we all had a good laugh about it and the speaker went on to say that one good sleeper is about all she ever gets at the 'gifted' seminars....she also had some "recent studies" to back up her story, but i no longer have that info.....this was at least 15 years ago....the gifted kid in question is now in medical school.
let's hear it for old nurses!
