Issues with profoundly gifted 14 year old ...

<p>I agree that he really should fix up his attitude, because it already seems to be holding him back. The “manual labor” Hunt suggested may seem a bit intense, but it’s a pretty good idea. Maybe if you sent him on a “mission” trip, or even went with him, he would start to appreciate what he has a little more and start actually working to his potential. Also, maybe if you were to get him to take some college classes or do some work with professors he would be less bored, because that also may be a big part of the problem. In addition to helping him shape up, it would look good on a resume.</p>
