What Is Boredom?

 Social and emotional issues can be as important as the development of motivation or achievement for the gifted child or adolescent. If your child is having problems with her homework or complains of boredom, perhaps you are unaware of other emotional issues related to anger or feeling like a misfit. Academic problems for gifted children are more often than not rooted in unhappiness with themselves or others.
