I think the OP made it very clear that this child is enthused about learning - this is the first time in ten years where he has run into this problem, and it’s because something was suddenly hard – this is not uncommon. As for really gifted kids not losing their quest for knowledge, it does happen. I have known kids who were placed in a soul-killing program and went from being avid, passionate learners to hating school and shutting down.
