Actually, this seems to be his state since Christie left.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping he will get better in time. Eddie I think was a lot closer to Christie than the other kids, in part I think because she actually appreciated his unreserved criticisms.  Eddie is highly intelligent in an intellectual sense but has a way to go in terms of social intelligence and maturity. Christie would not only tolerate his stark insensitive honesty but actually seemed to appreciate it. I think he related to her especially well because of this although he often sounded cruel to her. Aside from Christie leaving, he is also almost thirteen which is a difficult time for most children.<\/p>\n<p>He is in honor roll classes this year because of his exceptional academic performance, and early this year these were not sufficiently challenging. Now we&#8217;re having trouble getting him to do his home work and he seems basically uninterested in anything. I fear that if this continues for too long he&#8217;ll be dropped out of the honor roll classes and then really be bored with the curriculum.<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eddie, my youngest son, performed in a school concert today.
