By Teresa Currivan, LMFT, Parent Coach

Differently wired boys can seem like they have pretty serious behavior problems when really if we slow down and take a deep dive into what might be happening, we can see a pretty complex situation where they are actually defending something they strongly believe in. In this article, I talk about one boy’s story and how a curious mother and a mindful teacher helped him find his way out. Information about gifted boys can be found in my book, My Differently Tuned-In Child, The Right Place for Strength-Based Solutions. 

You can find some of my other articles in the soon-to-be-published book by GHF press as well! Stay tuned!
