J’adoube-I totally agree with the fact that just because a kid is good at something doesnt make them love it. My d was great at physics at 4, but hated science in grades 3-9. Now at bs she is loving physics again, and doing extremely well, even though her love is asian languages and culture.

I agree that gifted kids need a lot of stimulation and more so from parents than from teachers or even peers. My d had the chance to take college classes in grammar school, but I said no. I spent more time with her, home-schooled and taught her myself. Kids will be kids for such a short time, let them enjoy it, but feed them the extra stuff they need.
