Peach Crumb Bars
My recent obsession with peaches started not long after crossing the Georgia state line en route to Florida on our vacation. My Chief Culinary Consultant mentioned how we should stop to get a slice of peach pie since we were, in fact, in Georgia (the Peach State). I think my face lit up like a Christmas tree and then that was it – I had peach pie on the brain. We never stopped for pie since we were in the middle of a 16-hour road trip, but my craving was fulfilled a couple of days later when we couldn't stop talking about peach pie and finally went and bought peaches and made a pie. It absolutely hit the spot and was probably the best peach pie I've ever eaten. And so my peach spree began.
I went to Sam's Club the day after getting back from vacation and found one case of perfect-looking peaches. Every single one of them – perfect. How often does that happen? I had to snatch them up, but then I had too many to eat in a reasonable amount of time before they would go bad. So I set off to make something fabulous with them. These crumb bars combine the best of a peach pie and the best of a crumb cake into one amazing dessert. Since I loved the peach pie that we made so much, I used the same filling recipe for these crumb bars. I chose to dice the peaches figuring that it would make biting into the bars easier and less messy, but if you prefer slices you could definitely do that as well. Just make sure you add these to your "to do" list and enjoy every bite!

Yield: 24 bars
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
For the Dough:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold
1 egg, lightly beaten
For the Filling:
5 cups diced or sliced peaches (about 7 peaches, peeled)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. For the Dough: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter, and then the egg. The dough will be crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan. Place the pan and the remainder of the dough in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
3. For the Filling: Place the diced (or sliced) peaches in a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix gently. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour over the peaches and mix gently.
4. Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the peach layer.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

These bars ARE fabulous with apples, which I know since there are zero peaches worth buying in the midwest this time of year. The crust is what makes the dish, crumbly on top but nice and crisp on bottom. I think I'll have to try adding this crust to a few other things. Cherries? Peanut butter bars? I'm drooling already.
Im going with my kids to Dutch Wonderland for the weekend, had some peaches and nectarines that werent going to make it, so I am so glad I found this.
It is in the oven now, it looks great and the peach filling tastes great, raw at any rate! 🙂
This will be great to help save a few bucks in the park over the next couple of days!
Made these just a couple of days ago and added blueberries and raspberries to the mix as well. These are fantastic, they remind me of a cross between a crumble and cobbler. To me they're more of a dessert than a cookie. I had a bar today with a bowl of vanilla greek yogurt and a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream, heavenly!

I had a few too many Farmer's Market peaches and googled Peach Bars and landed here……YUM! I made the recipe the first time with 6 peaches and one BIG super-juicy mango and the bars were beyond delicious! The second time I cut the dough recipe in half (was running low on butter and flour), still used the peach-mango combo in the filling and baked the dish more as a cobbler with fruit on bottom and crumb topping…..served warm with vanilla ice cream and again, DELICIOUS! Thanks so much for posting this recipe!
I just googled for a good peach recipe because I had so many from my CSA. I made these for when my parents and in-laws were here this weekend. They were a HUGE hit!! Thank you for posting this! I think they would be awesome with apples too. I have some of those from the CSA as well, so I might have to give it a try. 🙂
I made these tonight, but since I didn't have fresh peaches (not in season) I used canned. While I am sure they are fabulous with fresh peaches, using canned works very well too. I used 3 cans of sliced peaches, but next time, I would increase that to 4 cans, for more fruit flavour. I also threw in 4 sliced fresh black plums, for added colour and flavour. It turned out very good, and a great way to enjoy this year round!

Sharing my recipe for peach crumb bars. I haven't posted this yet in my blogsite.
PEACH CRUMB CAKE Serves 10
A new peaches cake to enjoy baking this weekend! And a delicious way to use sour cream (I just bought a huge tub of sour cream from Sam's Club ).
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
¾ cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon iodized salt
1 cup sour cream
canned sliced peaches or fruit cocktail, drained well
Preheat oven to 350°F. Pam-spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan, line with wax or parchment paper and pam spray again. Set aside.
In a large bowl and using an electric mixer, beat together flour, sugar and butter until blended and crumbly. Measure 1 cup of the crumb mixture and set aside to cover top of cake batter.
Add eggs, vanilla, almond extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sour cream to the remaining crumb mixture and beat until just blended; don't overmix.
Spread half of the batter in the prepared baking pan. Arrange sliced peaches on top of the cake batter and cover with remaining batter. Sprinkle reserved crumbs on top of the cake batter and smooth evenly.
Bake in preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or edges of the cake turns lightly browned. When wooden skewer is inserted in thick part of the cake, it will come out a bit wet. Cool slightly. Then turn out to a serving platter and cut into squares.
These looked so good I decided to make them tonight. I gathered up all my ingredients, except the peaches (they were in the freezer and I left them for last, mostly cuz my freezer is kinda messy/exploded right now). Then I got down to prepping the pan and making the batter before remembering the peaches. I dug until I found them and bag of peaches was almost empty! Arrgh, what to do? I thought about just mixing some nuts into the crumb topping and calling it a coffee cake, but I had my heart set on tangy sweet peaches! I looked through the freezer again (ick, needs organizing, Martha'd yell at me) and I found some mangoes, so, long story, I'm making peach mango bars. I hope they turn out!
I have this bookmarked and have made it with all different kinds of fruit, blueberries, raspberries, plums, they all have worked. This week I thought of this recipe for my just-picked rhubarb. It turned out amazing and I am making it with the rhubarb again today! (I use two eggs instead of one.)
Another hit! I made this for the first time yesterday and everyone love it! It was also my first time for using organic butter and the flavor enhancement was phenomenal. Very much worth the extra cost, in my opinion. The organic butter (from those lovely cows in Oregon), together with the fresh-picked Georgia peaches a friend of mine brought home from southern Georgia, made this dish beyond delicious! Thanks again, Michelle. 😀

I never comment on recipe posts, but I just had to with this one. I am in New York waiting to ride out hurricane Irene and decided to make this and I'm glad I did! I halved the recipe and used nectarines (it's been a rough peach season) and threw in some blueberries at the last minute. Baked it in a pie dish and it turned out so pretty. More importantly, so so so freakin delicious. And so easy!
Love this! I made the dough a little softer-a little less flour. Spread 2/3 in a large pan, peach filling on top. I subbed a little tapioca for half the flour, I try to do less carbs if possible. Then, to the remaining dough I added 1 cup oats and half cup brown sugar. It was a really soft pie crust bottom, with a crisp crumble top. Held up perfectly when cut. Yum! Thanks for the inspiration. BTW peaches were "on sale" for $1.99 lb here in AK.

thank you for the recipe! I wanted to make something special for my son on his first day of school and we all loved it so much!
Only change I made was using 1 can of peaches (only thing I had on hand) and I added sliced almonds and a wee bit more nutmeg to the top.
Just found your blog today (head is under a rock,me thinks!) and I love it.I'll be visiting on a daily base now

This is delicious! I made it last night, but instead of fresh peaches, I used two 29 ounce cans of peaches. I drained and rinsed them and prepared the dish per the directions…DELICIOUS! I think I might add another can, because I wanted more peachiness, but, it is still amazing. I wonder if I could use apples, instead? Has anyone tried other fruits? Thanks for sharing 😀

HI! These look delish! i wanted to know if i had to Par bake the bottom crust before i put the peaches on?
No. You don't need to par bake the bottom. Once you press it into the the bottom of the pan, it's a thin layer that will bake beautifully with the rest of the peaches and topping.
I got nervous and par baked it anyways! LOL! just till the crust was golden. I froze them and serveed them two days later. They were a HIT!

I made these last nigh for a party at work today. Of course I had to try a little piece last night….amazing! And the best part is they were so easy! The only thing was they had to cook about 15 min more than the recipe called for, I probably could have even left them In a bit longer for a little more browning but I was afraid of burning… They came out sooo yummy!!! I will most def keep this one in the recipe book. One question, do you store in the fridge because of all of the butter in the recipe??

My peach crumble just came out of the oven. My house smells heavenly. I took a sneaker bite and it was amazing. I did mine a little different because to be honest I was dancing around the kitchen and not reading the directions very carefully. It still turned out great. I just don't have a top half to my bar. Thanks again for the recipe.

I realize I'm about four years too late, but I recently discovered your blog, and I'm on it every. single. day now. I made these last night for my boyfriend's coworkers, and he had never even heard of crumb bars! He's been texting me non-stop about them, saying how delicious they are, and how his crew can't stop eating them.

Hi Michelle,
These look awesome but I had a few issues when I was making them. Granted, its about 90 degrees out today so my butter melted slightly. But my other problem was the ratio. When I tried to split up the dough, there wasn't nearly enough to cover the bottom of a 9X13 pan and the peaches. Is the crust supposed to be a continuous layer? Also, I only used 6 peaches but it seemed to be way more than in your pictures. How big were the peaches you used?
Thanks so much!
These were a hit at our Labor Day BBQ yesterday! I didn't have enough peaches so I used some blueberries as well and it was a great combination. My peaches were pretty ripe so I drained some of the liquid to make sure the bars didn't get soggy on the bottom. Thanks for always posting amazing recipes! I love your blog and the pictures of your adorable puppies!

These were excellent! I used some ripe, juicy peaches and doubled the cornstarch. I made half a batch in a 9×9 pan. Really, these bars 'show off' great peaches. it's peach season and I've been trying different recipes. This could make you famous with your friends. The bars look beautiful and hold together nicely. Try it out!
Michelle, I made these last week and they were fantastic! On Saturday, I made them with blueberries and they were good BUT tonight I made them with strawberry and they were fabulous !! Had to adjust the flour to the berries a bit but they came out great. They would be good with some homemade vanilla ice cream too…Thanks for another great recipe!

Hi BEB! I've made this recipe of yours as is last year & it was a hit at home & w/ co-workers. I decided to add a small twist to it & added 1 1/2 cups of blueberries into the peach mix. If I didn't use up this last batch of blueberries in the next few days, they would've begun to walk. So, it was a literally last minute add after just having read your peach & blueberry coffee cake. I was tempted to do the coffee cake, but it was 2pm in California & wouldn't have been as fresh for breakfast the next day. By the way, the blueberry add in to your Peach crumb bars was Delicious! We added whipped cream to top it off for dessert tonight. Just thought to share my twist in ode to yours, & thank you, always for your awesome creations! Take care of the boys….including the furry ones, + little BEB"y"!

I made this for a Senior Brunch recently and it disappeared so fast I only got a taste while cutting it. Once someone tried it they came back up to get another slice. It was so easy to prepare. ( My one problem was the peaches I purchased were harder than they felt in the store. I put the diced peaches in a sauce pan with 1/4 cup of Orange juice and the sugar and cooked for about 10 -15 min to soften, then added the flour and spices and let simmer another 5 min. In a larger bowl I poured the contents to cool completely and than spread over the base and continued with the topping) Totally my mistake in choosing the peaches. Amazingly it worked out perfectly.!! I just love this easy, delicious, fresh recipe. Today I was asked to make it for tomorrow's Music event. The Ladies liked it so much they want it again. Thank You for sharing this wonderful recipe that now has a Honored Place with My Family Favorites Cookbook and Only Number One Treasured Recipes.
This is by fart the easiest , most delicious and most requested recipe I use. I posted a comment above but forgot to mention that one must DRAIN any excess juice . I have made 2 using peaches and because they were a bit hard I cooked them for about 5 min. There was about 1 cup of juice in the pan so I drained that off, cooled the mixture before spreading over the crust, came out perfect. I agree with you one should only use REAL butter, that is what makes this crust so delicious. The next 2 were apple and again I had close to a cup of juice after cooking for about 4 -5 min on med heat and drained them. Today I only had 3 apples and some blueberries and did not have to drain, the flour thickened it perfectly, cooled fruit before putting on the crust. So in 3 weeks I have made this by request 5 times. How can I thank you for this awesome recipe. Next I am going to try the fruit uncooked and see how I do. Thanks for the reply about the canned fruit as that will be easier than peeling all the fresh variety. The Ladies at the Senior Home are devouring them. Tonight it was son and Grandson and I got 18 and son wrapped the rest and squirreled them away. Your site has recipes not seen on others and this makes it very special. Thank You, Bea
Have tried this recipe 6 times now. Ladies at Senior home love it. Easy simple delicious. I cooked my peaches( too hard) for 5 min drained excess juice cooled and spread over crust. Perfect. Used apples raw and cooked for 5-8 min and drained , cooled excellent results . Even added blueberries to last batch did not have enough apples, Son loved the combination. Best recipe I have used and so delicious. Thank You.
I have made this 6 times and every time it was easy and delicious. Made some for a party but they ended up with my Son. The Senior Home loves them and request them whenever I bake. I have used apples and apples and frozen blueberries.and loved the peaches too. Cooked my fruit a bit and drained excess juice , the flour does thicken the fruit *and cooled before spreading on cookie base. The best recipe I have. Thank you.

I have a milestone birthday this year, too. I was thinking of a trip somewhere - learn to dive on a tropical island, learn to tango in Buenos Aires.
A good friend and I might also go away for a week-end to a house on the beach with a couple other friends.
Is there something you've always wanted to do or learn, a place you've wanted to visit?

It was a very familiar story for Manchester United on Saturday.
The first half once again went by without a goal - the 11th time at Old Trafford this season - and the result was the same as it was against Southampton in January of last year.
Charlie Austin's debut goal for the Saints delighted Louis van Gaal's arch-rival and counterpart Ronald Koeman, while the United faithful were forced into the regular chant of "attack, attack, attack".
WATCH: Van Gaal's post-match press conference in full
The result now leaves the Reds five points off the Tottenham in fourth place and 10 points, behind the league leaders at the time, Leicester City.
But it was the manner of the defeat that had the fans in uproar again, and despite a bright start to the second half when Juan Mata was introduced, United struggled to find a way through the battling Southampton defence.
Here are what United fans made of the result.
United in a bad way

All of you!
I'll say exactly what I said after the Norwich defeat. Van Gaal should leave and take half these players with him. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!— Philip Gatt (@philgatt) January 23, 2016
Not being one of the top 4 teams in the league at this stage of this season is unforgivable given how shocking the league is. Get LVG gone.— Vik (@IconicNumber7) January 23, 2016
Ed's under fire
Right now, Ed Woodward will be briefing journalists that United are trying hard to sign Neymar, Bale and Batistuta.— Philip Gatt (@philgatt) January 23, 2016
Jump or push?
I'd be stunned if Van Gaal walks after being beaten by Koeman. Or walks at all. Will have to be pushed if he is to leave surely— Wayne Barton (@yolkie_) January 23, 2016
Farce. Nobody surprised. Dire. Awful. How many more times?! Worst football since Sexton so regularly now. Aaarrrgghh pic.twitter.com/QGEEr4jB5R— Barney @Red News (@barneyrednews) January 23, 2016

Javorn Farrell, UMass get it together at right time
Credit: Chuck Burton
Before the season, Javorn Farrell described a more unselfish culture with the UMass men's basketball team.
"It just feels like everyone is on the same page and no one has personal agendas that they're trying to achieve over the team's goals," Farrell said in November.
While genuine, the comments were easy to make before a game had been played and anyone was forced to accept a reduced role.

Recently, I woke with the morning's light peeking through the glass of the door that opens my bedroom to the outside. A pinkish glow painted the sky. I love awakening to nature's alarm clock. As my consciousness stirred in those early morning hours, I felt grateful I was warm and secure in my bed. I had a choice to make; shall I get up or sleep in? As I stirred for the second time an hour later, raindrops glistened on tree trunks and clouds thickened like meringue on pie.
I am fully aware I had a choice about where I had slept the night before and all my options were comfortable and safe. Others haven't much choice for where to sleep and awaken. Occasionally I might sleep on the living room sofa to watch the burning embers in the fireplace. Someone else might sleep on a couch in another's living space because they have no home or bed of their own. Still others sleep in cardboard boxes beneath underpasses or in makeshift camps deep in the woods along the creek in a city park. Some sleep fitfully on a metal bench in a penitentiary cell.
I'm struck by the relationship between choices and peace.
Perhaps having options and the opportunity to choose for oneself is part of a peaceful life. Retirement gives me the choice to sleep in. Others can't. No matter if it's cold or wet, workers still must commute or be outside in the weather to do their jobs—paving roads or delivering mail. Others travel home from working the night shift. Some may never have enough savings to retire and must work a lifetime, even in jobs that bring little meaning or hope to their lives.
Some workers stand at bus stops in early morning hours, bundled in coats and scarves, mittens and boots, to keep warm or dry. I've been there; I often ride the bus even in miserable weather. But I also know I'm making that choice. I have a car. Sometimes I choose to bike or walk. I've always lived near work, a grocery store, the pharmacy, my doctor—all benefits that a life of advantages has given me. Income, class, skin color, gender, and cultural background afford these choices to some of us—the same choices which have been historically denied to others.
So I ask, what choices can each of us make so a greater number of people can have options and the ability to choose? What part can we play in creating opportunities for others in a way that might bring about a greater likelihood of a more peaceful life?
I suggest that an important part may be to rethink how we act in the ordinary course of our lives. Perhaps, how we vote, donate money, volunteer, or decide policy and procedure in our workplaces. All these actions involve choices, and we can choose differently. Perhaps we might borrow from an old slogan about simplicity and "choose differently so that others can simply choose."
We might volunteer at a homeless shelter so that someone can have the choice of a safer place to sleep. Or we can volunteer with organizations working to reduce the causes of homelessness thus creating more opportunity for choice with greater permanence. We can give food to a panhandler and reduce his suffering in a small way in one moment in time. Or we can donate money to clinics that effectively treat mental illness. We can promote affordable housing, mass transit, or fairly funded neighborhood schools. We can do this even when it means some of us pay more so that others may simply choose.
We can extend consideration to all members of our community, not just those like us or closest to us. We can vote, support candidates, or communicate with lawmakers to promote inclusiveness and fairness. We can change government or business policies and procedures that result in advantages for certain groups and negative outcomes for others. We can increase voter registration and remove obstacles to full political participation. We can work toward a ballot that includes both candidates and positions that reflect the needs of citizens who've been traditionally left out or deliberately blocked out of our community's decision-making. We can insist that leaders make our police and courts operate justly for everyone. We can urge our employers to replace authoritarian leadership with greater participation for workers and establish wages that support families instead of poverty.
So let every one of us broaden our awareness and actions to share the power and benefits of our community's pie. Let each of us decide what part to play in choosing differently so that others may simply choose. And may all of us awaken with more peace in our lives because we had a choice of where we would sleep the night before.

The First Duty of Love Is to Listen
By Marianne Kuzujanakis, MD, MPH
(Editor's Note: This piece by SENG Director Marianne Kuzujanakis is part of the 2012 National Parenting Gifted Week Blog Tour. Be sure to check out the full schedule of blogs and follow along!)
"The first duty of love is to listen." – Paul Tillich
Confession…I've made mistakes as a parent. But who hasn't? Maybe I was naïve to think that when my son turned five and we enrolled him in kindergarten, all would be filled as I always imagined with lovely memories of school buses and in-class parties and warmth and friendship.
OK. It didn't exactly go that way.
My son was so excited about school. We'd spoken about all the things he'd learn and do. He had been a voracious reader for quite some time, and was looking forward to meeting the children and his teacher. He loved drawing pictures of himself, his image smiling with the precious, awkward pencil strokes of a young child. One eye slightly larger than the other, large hands and thick fingers spread out to catch life with full force. Oversized clothing with irregular pant lengths. Feet turned in all directions, heading out at top speed to see everything the world had to offer. That's my son. An intense and awesome presence. He was never one for naps, and would sleep so deeply at night that a fire alarm could go off unheard. His hunger for learning was like a human Pac-Man, devouring everything in his path. When he was hungry for food nourishment, the shovels needed to come out or else a meltdown was soon to occur. How could a school understand all of my son's needs?
We began kindergarten that crisp day in September, my son eagerly running for the classroom and leaving me unbearably alone to face my separation anxiety. He'll be just fine, I thought, better than me. But he wasn't fine. In the weeks that followed, I was told that he didn't sit for circle time, wouldn't follow bathroom line-ups (once even suggesting that the teacher not block the middle of the hallway, and instead stand along the edges like the children), and he was said to interrupt the teacher when she was reading her morning list from the white board (this I witnessed myself, as my son proudly wanted to read aloud the teacher's list for the entire class). "Sit down", he was told. No kindly pat-on-the-back at break-time for reading a magazine about foxes to his classmate who had a disability.
My son's demeanor was changing. At home he began to look anxious, and wanted to practice sitting in a circle with me, perhaps thinking he could gain the love of his teacher if only he tried hard enough. He no longer ran so fast to the classroom in the mornings.
"Have you thought about attention problems? ADHD?" the teacher would ask me repeatedly. By then, my son was a regular in the principal's office, and was often tapped with the job of classroom cleanup. My son wanted to learn something. Anything. My district offered nothing. No gifted pull-outs, no acceleration, no funding, and no identification. I advocated with my every breath. "Be happy that your child can relax and not need to learn anything this year," we were told.
This was not what my son envisioned. His in-school behavior worsened. His at-home behavior changed. It was then when I made my mistake. I became angry – not at the school, but at my child. "Why can't you behave?" I said, over and over. One could, in retrospect, see him grow visibly smaller and smaller. I didn't yet know my options. I felt helpless. I felt I was letting my child down.
Then the answer suddenly spoke. The voice was at first hushed, peeking out from an unexpected place, so I strained to hear. Remember when I said my son loved to draw self-portraits, all free and alive and ready to pounce out of the paper? Those drawings continued. But now they changed. Why didn't I see it before? His lovely self-portraits still had the endearing misshapen eyes, the haphazard feet, the odd garment arrangements, but now something so heartbreaking was apparent – my son no longer had any arms. Nothing past the shoulders.
How could I miss this? His drawings blared as if I had a megaphone to my ear. They shouted, "I do not have any control over my life. I can't do anything."
Listening, I immediately had the answer. I took him home. His arms returned to his drawings. We are now in our eighth year of homeschooling. It wasn't my child that was a misfit; his particular school situation was a misfit. It wasn't ADHD; it was educational misplacement.
While homeschooling worked for us, homeschooling isn't a cure-all. Many schools and passionate teachers do indeed beautifully accommodate the intense needs of gifted children. Being open to all possibilities works positively in the child's interests. Being a strong advocate for your child is essential. Pediatric clinicians are under-utilized resources to help parents advocate. Meanwhile, it is crucial for both parents and pediatric clinicians to be knowledgeable about giftedness and twice-exceptionalities.
Does my child have any other concerns I need to address? At this point, I cannot say, but I'll listen closely if and when they happen, and together we'll deal with whatever comes along.
If I have any regret, it is that I did not listen to my child sooner.

i went through that exact scenario with my 5.5 year old. he was a young K at 4, almost 5 and we figured it out after about 6 months of pure hell as you describe. it was with some trepidation that we had him tested for giftedness and subsequently enrolled in a gifted school where we were told they could help us. they did. as you describe, his drawings became what they had been. his smile returned. his ability to positively relate to other human beings– who knew that school could destroy a young brain so quickly and so thoroughly? articles like yours are what so many people need to see. take action when what is provided and expected are not working. congrats to you.
I believe that you have written about my son. I shook my head in amazement as you discribed the struggles you and your son experienced. My son, too, was so excited about Kindergarten and couldn't wait to get to school. A month after school started we were called into the principal's office for a meeting. He was called socially immature; a child with a defiant heart. At one point it was suggested that perhaps he should have stayed in the pre-K program. We sought out IQ and academic achievement testing. Before the results were given, the school was talking expulsion. They took his recess away for poor behavior and then made him sit in the principal's office for 2 hours with nothing to do. When he frequented the principal 2 & 3 times a week, he was sent home and we were told that they couldn't "babysit". He became withdrawn and unhappy. He tried to talk out the situations at school in attempt to find a solution if he did something different. He often finalized those thoughts with "but if I did that, I'd get in trouble too". He got in trouble for not coloring, shouting out answers, not walking on the sidewalk, talking with his friends. The defiant heart label resulted in a few months of private counseling sessions to build him back up. We removed him after that first semester. Even the headmaster said, "It is more damaging to leave him in this school". I was shocked he would say that about his own staff and school rather than advocate. We are now homeschooling and have opened up an entire world of learning. He has a smile on his face again. "I am finally learning something, Mama!" Thank you for sharing your story. It helps to hear that we are not alone!
I appreciate this article and am in my third year of virtual academy online schooling. Can you share the homeschooling program or resources that you have found that you like and are using? Thank you.
I am so warmed by everyone's comments. This is proof positive that "we are not alone". Each one of us has strengths and stories to share. We can learn so much from each other & perhaps change the world.
Lisa P…Please feel free to email me privately at email@example.com, and we can better discuss your child's educational desires and needs.
I know this story from many and we experienced this as well, though my son came home With the belief that he must be the bully because the bully is the only different one (and it was in preschool when he was 3). Our journey into what I call the 'land of gifted' began as we luckily had found an expert in gifted who introduced us to the concept, term and population, inspiring me to return to graduate school again and become an advocate through IAGC, ultimately resulting in the start of my blog on positive discipline for gifted children and continued professional focus.
I love how you say to listen….listen to your child and listen to the little voice inside of you. For those feeling ('I wish I did it sooner') remember that mistakes are wonderful opportunities to learn and that parenting is full of these opportunities. Keep moving forward. We connect with our children and move forward.
I support and thank SENG for spearheading the campaign for formal education to the medical and mental health community as I have seen gifted children being misunderstood and misdiagnosed, resulting sometimes in recommendations of very strong medications (anti-psychotics) for these young children.
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your story.
We had a very similar experience! Our son's school refused to provide more challenging school work because, "they already spent too much time dealing with his behavior." We were told by his teacher the first week of school that he "took pleasure in causing others pain."
Not until we read the book Bright Not Broken, did we understand that he was a twice-exceptional child. Our journey has been emotional, overwhelming, and now we know so much more! We also know how very little schools know about 2e children.
I write a blog about our story that I know you will really relate to:
Blessings to you!
Dr. Kuzujanakis:
I completely understand. I have had the same problem where I live, and I live somewhere with gifted and talented programs. I cannot bear to see this happen over and over to my children, your children, and any other child. My answer, and I am a teacher, has been to return to school and further mt graduate education so that I may better advocate for talent development. My son is now 11, and we are just grateful that we have a middle school where he can take all honors finally. This is a gut-wrenching process that is never perfect and I wish you luck.
I find stories like these frustrating and distinctly unhelpful. While I appreciate that parents need support to pull their kids out to home school, that is not an option for us. I end up feeling guilty because I don't make that sacrifice for my children.
I am still in the school a lot. Every year new issues arise. I volunteer as I can, and am very respectful and supportive of the teachers (even when having issues–which we have definitely had) so that the teachers and administration appreciate what I bring to the school community. There are a lot of people who can not do as much as I do. How do those people support their children?
Yes, the article says that homeschooling isn't a choice for everyone, but what are your thoughts, as a psychologist, about we can support our children if that is the case? It would be a amazing to hear about strategies other people have used to approach their schools and districts.
Ideas from me to other "Stay in School Parents."
In our case, I brought my child's psychologist to the school to help educate teachers and administrators about his needs. About things they could put in place (with little or no cost) to help him self regulate (greater access to the quiet corner, games and learning activities that he could do when he was finished with his work that were stimulating to his mind). We practiced social skills at home–turning his intellect into a tool to brainstorm solutions to social situations.
I visited the classes of the teachers my daughter might have and met with the Director to discuss my daughter and her personality traits that might become challenging in specific situations. The school does have some flexibility in placing kids in classes, but parents can not choose. Hopefully, they will place her where I think there is a good fit.
The district talked with me (our district actually has a funded gifted program, but my child is not in a gifted school which irritates them) and worked with me to find ideas that might work for the school in areas where my son struggles. I get that I am lucky to be in a district and a state that cares. However, we are one of the lowest in per pupil funding nationally so solutions have to be cheap.
In our experience the diagnosis "Asynchronous Development" has a different feel for teachers and administrators than "Gifted." They seemed to respond to the first as a condition, and the second is a statement of, "My kid deserves more." While the second may be true, it can inspire resentment. Teachers have been more willing to shift in response to the first after a conversation about what my child needs–and what will be the rewards for the teacher (at least in my experience).
What are the rewards? A high-performing student who can make the teacher and school look good. A student who can inspire the class.
My son is starting kindergarten and starting a new school. Because of the prior school it has taken me this summer to bring my confident boy back. Much of what you share I experienced similarly and am relieved. My son wants to learn, it's that simple. While play is important, learning can be playful and it was not at his last school. He was criminalized for standing up for himself and punished. No one ever considered listening to him at the school. Their philosophy was to equalize the kids, they did not believe in gifted.
Why are schools so happy to help the challenged but so against helping the gifted?
Thank you for the relief and opportunity to learn more about what to do.
I appreciate your comment, and I definitely can relate to the many issues associated with not being able to homeschool.
I want to point out that my article was not at all intended to make those unable to change educational courses for their child feel guilty in any way. The real underlying issue and need is to increase education for those adults caring for gifted children (teachers & medical professionals) so that educational accommodations are more easily obtained without the parent feeling hopeless and in many cases, minimized.
Having physicians, psychologists, and therapists of all types work more easily and with a better understanding of the unique nature of gifted children (as well as 2e children), with parents and teachers in advocating for their child's needs, is a powerful step forward to achieving proper educational placement for all children. In essence, proper educational placement with an awareness & support of the specific individual needs of gifted children are the ideal goals. Thank you.
Catherine, Susan, and others…
I am so inspired to hear the stories of how you, as parents, after your children's negative school experiences, turned the problems on their heads by furthered your own education to become more prepared advocates for not just your own children but also all gifted children. I think this desire speaks to so many of us as parents of gifted children. Thanks to each of you for taking that bold step.
Dr. Kuzujanakis,
My apologies for dealing you my frustrations. It is not in my personality to home school–I am a better mother, wife and person when I have my own outside projects to stimulate my mind and use my energy. I can give my kids much more when I take care of myself and my own needs as a 2g individual.
I know that your article was not intended to put down any segment of the gifted parent population. Perhaps I am just feeling like all roads lead to home schooling. My kids are in a language immersion school and definitely getting experiences and challenge there that I could not provide them at home.
Maybe I have not yet found the right places to look. The guilt, decision-making, and issues of these kids are incredibly complex and difficult. And the parents of these kids are as likely to have "issues" as the kids themselves. Our own "Overexcitabilities" get in the way.
Thank you for your efforts in this arena. Any time a person puts something out there, they open themselves up. Though I was critical, I still appreciate the article and the thoughts.
Please, there is no need to apologize for anything. Our children and their needs are both unique and complex. Even within a single family each child's needs are unique from other children in that family. There is never an easy "one-size-fits-all" approach to our children nor to our families. We all struggle at some point with our decisions, and rare is the person who has not. I certainly have not met such a person, nor am I a person without some of my own doubts.
There is no seemingly right way to approach to life except to truly attempt to understand both ourselves and our children, and to approach life in a way which pays respect to both. All my best to you in your journey.
[…] The school didn't understand my gifted son's enthusiasm for learning, his energetic passion to discover, his earnest desire to engage with everyone and everything around him. It seemed as if they could only see in him someone who didn't fit the rules of what their worldview told them about children. He was an outlier. I've previously written a bit about his early educational experiences HERE. […]

Tavi Got a TV Character Named After Her
The HBO show featured a character heavily inspired by the blogger last week.
On last weekend's episode of HBO's How To Make It In America, the boys of Crisp were tasked with designing a T-shirt for a fancy private school in New York City. Approval of the design was left up to the "fashion committee," comprised of two students, one of who bears more than a passing resemblance to fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson. The show's precocious teen character was even listed as "Tavi" in the credits, just in case you weren't already convinced. But in the interest of drama, HBO took some creative liberties in Tavi's portrayal, resurrecting her blue-rinsed bob of yesteryear and giving her bitchy lines that the real Tavi would probably characterize as "high-schooly." (The character was, however, pretty on point with her critique of the lackluster camo tee.) But then again, who really cares if the portrayal is accurate? She's 15 and already has a TV character named after her.

To most, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) are the two dominant global players in the smartphone space. More than ever, the spotlight for smartphone growth is on the promising economies of China, the biggest market and India, the fastest growing market. Though both giants are approaching these markets with their own strategies, the emergence of smaller vendors, such as the Chinese company ZTE (OTCPK:ZTCOY), will play a considerable role in how this will all transpire.
Apple-ing surprise for doubters
Apple's performance in China, and to a lesser extent India, is vital in determining the future outlook of the California based company. These emerging markets were influential in the release of Apple's new phones, the 5S and 5C, which specifically aimed towards tapping lower income consumers. Following Apple's announcement of the two new models though, it was believed that the price of the 5C ($550+) was too costly for consumers in emerging markets. Apple CEO Tim Cook responded with, "We're not in the junk business" to defend the higher priced phone that offers greater value. It seems Apple is concentrated on offering a premium product rather than volume to dominate market share.
Evidently, Apple changed market sentiment when the company revealed that it set a new record in iPhone sales, topping 9 million models three days after launch. Initially, this demand shows the devotion Apple fans have for the company product. Can Apple keep this demand going or will the iPhone be a luxury that only the privileged can afford?
"Junk business" driving smartphone growth
In the worldwide smartphone market, vendors shipped 237.9 million units in 2Q 2013, a 52.3% YoY growth and 10% QoQ growth. Lower-priced smartphones continue to flourish as demand has spread from the developed markets to emerging markets. As a result, smartphone average selling prices have declined to $372 so far in 2013, down from $443 in 2011, a 19% decline. With emerging market demand surging, this declining trend is expected to continue with prices sinking as low as $309 by 2017.
Low-cost manufacturers have seen great traction by dedicating product offerings toward emerging markets, where average personal income is far less than that in developed. Not only that, but these vendors have kept prices low while still offering premium devices. Take Samsung for example, a company that has taken advantage of the so called junk business. Samsung's offering ranges from low-end smartphones that can compete in emerging nations like India and China to the premium Galaxy S4 that challenges the iPhone in the high end market. Due to this wide product range, Samsung is the top vendor in the Chinese and Indian market and a runner-up to Apple in the West.
ZTE approach
ZTE, a Chinese smartphone maker, has taken a similar approach to expanding their business as rival Samsung. ZTE finished among the smartphone leaders for the fourth straight quarter thanks to its success in the Asia/Pacific region. According to IDC, ZTE was a top five smartphone vendor for the 2Q 2013 with 10.1 million shipments, giving it a global market share of about 4.2%. The company's goal is to sell 50 million smartphones in 2013, which would further validate its position as a leading global vendor. This is quite impressive for a company that is relatively nonexistent in the West.
Click to enlargeZTE's largest presence is in its local market, where it holds approximately 8.7% of market share, placing it as a top 5 manufacturer in the world's biggest smartphone market. Aggregately, Chinese smartphone makers take 60% of the local market, each individually surpassing Apple (5%) comfortably.
Similar to Samsung, ZTE offers a wide variety of smartphones that range from entry-level devices to the high-end feature filled Grand S line. This strategy gives ZTE access to consumers of all income levels, making it a smartphone producer that can target every demographic, a crucial feature in emerging market vendors. Low cost devices will continue to dominate the majority of the Chinese market, which plays to ZTE's advantage as it will carry on the company's presence in being a local leader.
Exploit growth of Indian market
India had smartphone shipments of 9.3 million in Q2 2013, growth of 50% QoQ and nearly tripling shipments a year ago, making it the fastest growing market globally. IDC predicts India will replace the US as the second-biggest smartphone market by 2017. Around two thirds of the 9.3 million smartphones shipped were sub-$200 smartphones. With these facts, expansion into the budding Indian market would be most successful if a low cost phone was offered for the masses.
ZTE already has a strong brand recall in the Indian handset market as it has been the original equipment manufacturer for leading telecom operators of the country. ZTE tactics include being able to set an optimistic marketing budget and arranging an economical portfolio of available phones. This will place the company in good position to expand operations into India and achieve goals of selling 1 million smartphones this year while also becoming the third largest player in India by 2016.
Conversely, Apple is pricing itself out of contention to capitalize from the growth of the Indian market. This strategy is shutting the door on at least 67% of Indian consumers, allowing only the wealthy to be potential iPhone users. Sure, this strategy will result in higher margins for Apple, but overall profits with such a strategy are up for debate. Instead, the growing array of sub-$200 smartphones will be satisfied by local and foreign low-cost manufacturers. India could end up being a lost opportunity for Apple.
ZTE US presence
In the US, iPhone isn't considered a luxury product as most consumers can afford to buy it outright or through help of subsidies. This isn't the case in countries like China and India. None the less, due to this difference in income levels, ZTE has not had the same pull in the US as in its local market. American's have a sense of loyalty to their respective smartphones, a tough bond to interrupt especially with devices that do not offer any greater features. As an alternative, ZTE's low-cost strategy focuses on selling cheaper phones to prepaid carriers like Sprint, Virgin, MetroPCS and Cricket. Though the prepaid phone market in the US is an estimated 25% of overall market, ZTE targets a cost-conscious niche of consumers.
Low cost devices, in the sub-$200 level, will continue to dominate the emerging markets, therefore leaving premium brands like Apple to target a niche market. Though this luxury image is what the Cupertino maker is basing its strategy on, the low and/or declining market share, as a result, will not slide with investors and the media. Generally, bigger is not necessarily better. However, in the case of selling smartphones, a mass consumer product, volume matters. The growth of the smartphone in emerging markets may prove to be a numbers game where quantity rules, a notion that will only benefit Apple's rivals.
